- David Hume's thinking was radical and thorough. This was his strength, but also a source of ammunition to his enemies. He has been interpreted as being scathingly negative in all of his conclusions - whether about morality, religion or basic epistemology.
The lecture will argue that Hume has much that is positive to teach us about all of these topics.
However, the main focus will be upon the nature and foundations of Civil Society, including both ethical and social insights, and their relevance to contemporary talk of 'broken' or 'fractured' society. - Věda a technologie
I thought Lord Sutherland was hilarious. A really delightful lecture.
My favorite Believer philosopher is Teilhard. My favorite Skeptic philosopher is Hume.
