Timothy Costelloe sets two tasks for himself in his thought-provoking Aesthetics and Morals in the Philosophy of David Hume: to make a contribution to our understanding of Hume's aesthetics, and then to use that contribution to throw light on Hume's theory of morals. Costelloe is a graceful writer with an impressive grasp of the whole of Hume's corpus. He is consistently engaging, his interpretations are consistently suggestive, and the comparisons that his powerful grasp of Hume's writings allow him to make are consistently striking. -- James Shelley, Department of Philosophy, Auburn University
