Description: This important new monograph presents a non-sceptical outlook on Hume's Treatise by analysing the hitherto neglected role of the belief in other minds.
Review Quotes: "In David Hume and the Problem of Other Minds, Anik Waldow has used the problem of the existence of other minds as a lens through which to view Hume's attitude to sceptical arguments and what they show. Since Hume's treatment of other minds is located in his account of the passions and sentiments, rather than in his account of scepticism as such, we are able to build up a more comprehensive picture of just what role sceptical arguments play in our understanding of the world in Hume's philosophy. Our grasp of Hume's project is thereby enhanced considerably." - Professor Stephen Gaukroger, University of Sydney, Australia
