Pressestimmen
“Kevin Meeker’s extremely stimulating book is
self-consciously set against scholarly consensus. … I have only been able to
give a flavour of Meeker’s book, and it is something that should be read by
anyone interested in Hume’s epistemology.” (P. J. E. Kail, Dialectica, Vol. 69
(4), December, 2015)"Kevin Meeker is the secret hero of recent Hume scholarship; he patiently and with careful and clear arguments returned it from the darkness which had engulfed it. Meeker's book will let more in on the secret: it forces us all to confront the radical skepticism at the heart of Hume's philosophy. In addition he uses Hume's philosophy to illuminate later philosophers (especially Quine) and helps us think more wisely with Hume about on-going debates in contemporary philosophy (especially epistemology and philosophy of religion)." - Eric Schliesser, Ghent University
