Overview"The purpose of this book is to provide the reader with an accessible guide to the most significant developments in Hume's scholarship, while, at the same time, defending a general interpretatation of Hume's philsophy.The main contention of the work is that by seeing Hume's metaphysical and epistemological arguments from this general perspective we can resolve certain interpretive controversies in Hume literature. It is possible to see Hume not as the arch-sceptic whose main contribution to the history of philosophy was to awaken Kant from his ""dogmatic slumbers"", but as an original and important theorist of human nature, whose true significance to the history of ideas is yet to be reckoned with. As the title suggests, this book is concerned with the relationship between Hume's scepticism and his theory of human nature. This, the author suggests, is the is the central interpretive issue of Hume scholarship."
