Description: David Hume: A Dissertation on the Passions; The Natural History of Religion by Tom Beauchamp Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Presents an edition of two famous works by David Hume. In "A Dissertation on the Passions", Hume sets out his original view of the nature and central role of passion and emotion. "The Natural History of Religion" is a landmark work in the study of religion as a natural phenomenon. Publisher Description David Hume (1711-1776) is one of the greatest of philosophers. Today he probably ranks highest of all British philosophers in terms of influence and philosophical standing. His philosophical work ranges across morals, the mind, metaphysics, epistemology, religion, and aesthetics; he had broad interests not only in philosophy as it is now conceived but in history, politics, economics, religion, and the arts. He was a master of English prose. TheClarendon Hume Edition will include all of his works except his History of England and minor historical writings. It is the only thorough critical edition, and will provide a far more extensivescholarly treatment than any previous editions. This edition (which has been in preparation since the 1970s) offers authoritative annotation, bibliographical information, and indexes, and draws upon the major advances in textual scholarship that have been made since the publication of earlier editions--advances both in the understanding of editorial principle and practice and in knowledge of the history of Humes own texts. In this volume, Tom Beauchamp presents two essaysfrom Four Dissertations (1757), the last philosophical work written by Hume, which was subsequently revised by the philosopher in the remaining years of his life. Whilst the bulk of A Dissertation onthe Passions was extracted from passages in A Treatise of Human Nature, The Natural History of Religion was an original work when published in 1757, as well as the only major work devoted exclusively to the subject of religion that Hume published in his lifetime. Together with Humes earlier work on religious topics, this essay drew considerable philosophical commentary from his contemporaries.The last edition of the two works in this volume seenthrough the press by Hume himself appeared in 1772. It provides the copy-text for this critical edition. The Editors primarily historical Introduction discusses the genesis, revision, and reception of these two dissertations,which went into ten editions at the authors hand. It will appeal to scholars across many disciplines. General Editors of the Clarendon Hume: Professors T. L. Beauchamp (Georgetown University, USA), D. F. Norton (McGill University, Canada), M. A.
