an exciting and useful volume . Roger L. Emerson, University of Western Ontario (Emeritus). In: Metascience, 22 May 2017.


an exciting and useful volume Roger L. Emerson, University of Western Ontario (Emeritus), in Metascience, 2017, DOI 10.1007/s11016-017-0201-2 The merits of Demeter's book are nevertheless substantial. I recommend David Hume and the Culture of Scottish Newtonianism for anyone who is interested in the integrated history of the natural sciences and humanities/social sciences, the work of Hume and the history of philosophy as contextualized in its social environment. Matias Slavov, University of Jyvaskyla, in the Journal of Early Modern Studies, 2017, pp 207-212 a valuable contribution to our understanding of the intellectual context of Hume's philosophy, that should make a decisive change to what we mean when we describe Hume as a `Newton of the mind'. James A. Harris, University of St. Andrews, in The Philosophical Quarterly, DOI 10.1093/pq/pqx041
