18Hume’s Sceptical Enlightenment by Ryu SusatoJournal of the History of Philosophy 55 (1): 165-166. 2017.This rich and detailed volume reads David Hume as a skeptic, but Susato is less interested in dissecting Hume’s particular skeptical arguments and more concerned with what he regards as Hume’s larger skeptical vision as it relates to his social and political thought.

Broadly speaking, the question Susato addr…Read more

816Scepticism and Naturalism in Cavell and HumeInternational Journal for the Study of Skepticism 5 (1): 29-54. 2015.This essay argues that the exploration of scepticism and its implications in the work of Stanley Cavell and David Hume bears more similarities than is commonly acknowledged, especially along the lines of what I wish to call “sceptical naturalism.” These lines of similarity are described through the way each philosopher relates the “natural” and “nature” to the universal, the necessary, and the conventional.
