Norton’s new edition of David Hume’s A Treatise of Human Nature , volumes 1 and 2 of The Clarendon Edition of the Works of David Hume, establishes a new standard for scholars engaged with that work, in two ways.

42Show me the moneyThe Philosophers' Magazine 44 81-82. 2009.Many philosophers are little devoted to the love of wisdom. In only a merely “academic” way do they aspire to intellectual virtue.
