`This is very well-trodden ground, but Owen succeeds in casting new light upon... Taken as a whole, Hume's Reason is proof of the value of careful elaboration.' James Harris, TLS September 15 2000

David Owen has written an excellent book ... The attentive reader will not fail to profit from Owen's meticulous and sensitive handling of Hume's challenging but notoriously difficult arguments ... a model of historically-literate, careful (and carefully charitable) examination of a complex and demanding text. Australasian Journal of Philosophy Owen's account offers a key that promises to unlock many aspects of Hume's philosophy in both the Treatise and the first Enquiry. The book is recommended for providing new motivation to re-read Hume with a new set of questions and a new appreciation of Hume's empiricism. Dale Jacquette, British Journal for the History of Philosophy Owen offers valuable insights ... Lucid presentation ... controversial view.
