    The end of Philosophy?
  

*by S***O on Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2003*

That's an overstatement, certainly, but David Hume's 'Treatise of Human Nature' is unquestionably one of the most influential and important works of philosophy in the history of mankind.  And considering current trends in academia, it is more timely than ever.  As an undergraduate, I remember being stunned by Hume's seemingly irrefutable arguments on the nature of reason and reality.  As a graduate student often disturbed by the uncritical acceptance of faddish theories, I was amazed to find that Hume is as relevant today as he was over two hundred and fifty years ago.  Within the first few pages of the book, he manages to outline an intellectual framework that even today makes the arguments of the most highly-regarded theorists sound hollow and jargonistic.Hume's ideas are now so widely accepted and taught that they affect the way we interact with the world on a daily basis, whether we realize it or not.  Yet Hume was also groundbreaking in another sense-- he made profound philosophical ideas accessible, and even entertaining.  Not only is the 'Treatise' notable for its clarity, but for a wit and charm that make it nearly as pleasant to read as Dumas' 'Three Musketeers.' No mean feat for a man recording ideas that would shape the course of Western civilization.  Small wonder that even as philosophers acknowledge him as one of the greats of the discipline, so many have sought to emulate his clear prose, free as it is of jargon, neologisms, or esoteric concepts.And as if that weren't enough, Hume was such a decent and well-liked individual in his own lifetime that he was referred to as 'le bon David' in France and 'St. David' in his native Scotland.  It's a shame that not all of history's giants can be so appealing.

    Time machine required!
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2014*

Dogmatic slumbers aside, I almost feel that Kant felt the need to write a proper work for Hume to criticize. After all, who was Hume writing against? Aristotle? Maybe. It is more like Hume had a crystal ball and wrote to reject Kant before he was even born.  Then Kant came along and felt the Hume did not have a proper object for his skeptical ire so he got to work writing the First Critique.  If you love Kant (or hate Kant) you will hate (or love) Hume respectively. They really make an amazing pair. Using these two as a pair can really spice up a philosophy class. Just as Aristotle rejected his teacher Plato's wishy washiness, so does Kant reject his predecessor's wishy washiness. However there is always this abiding respect. Its too bad that Hume never had a chance for a rebuttal against Kant.  This is why philosophers need time machines.  The commentaries that come with this edition are enlightening and informative.  I generally don't like commentaries but Norton and Norton (David and Mary) do a great job.  I enjoyed both the Editor's Introduction  and the exhaustive annotations.

    For Hume students, get the Oxford Edition of Hume's Treatise, edited by Norton and Norton
  

*by H***O on Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2016*

Amazon groups all reviews together for different editions of the "same" book.  What is missed is that different editions are really different books.  These very brief comments refer to the print version of the Oxford Philosophical Text version of David Hume's A Treatise of Human Nature, edited by David Fate Norton and Mary J. Norton.This edition is a wonderful piece of scholarship, with illuminating commentary and notes.  I found this edition to be especially helpful for my students.  There is a long introductory essay, comments throughout the text, notes and a glossary.Even if you have the Selby-Bigge edition, every Hume scholar and serious student should add this to their library.  Other than the Selby-Bigge and  Oxford editions, avoid all other print editions.  (By Oxford editions, I refer to this version and the version also edited by the Nortons under the Clarendon Series label.)
