22Hume’s System of Space and TimeHistory of Philosophy & Logical Analysis 13 (1): 76-89. 2010.Hume’s account of the origin and nature of our ideas of space and time is generally thought to be the least satisfactory part of his empiricist system of philosophy. The main reason is internal in that the account is judged to be inconsistent with Hume’s fundamental principle for the relationship between senses and cognition, the copy principle. This paper defends Hume against the inconsistency objection by offering a new systematic interpretation of Hume on space and time and illuminating more …Read more

21A Treatise of Human Nature: Being an Attempt to Introduce the Experimental Method of Reasoning into Moral Subjects (edited book)Broadview Press. 2023.In his autobiography, David Hume famously noted that _A Treatise of Human Nature_ “fell dead-born from the press.” Yet it is now widely regarded as one of the greatest philosophical works written in the English language.

Commentators have been too quick to accept Rawls’ own ac…Read more

20The “Great Guide” of Human Life: Custom and Habit in Hume’s Science of Politics (12th ed.)Cosmos + Taxis: Studies in Emergent Order and Organization 12 19-31. 2023.At the level of the individual, current research suggests that most of our daily actions are done out of habit. At the same time, individuals are part of larger social units, and their behavior gives rise to customs and institutions. Hume recognized the indispensable role of custom and habit in human life in his science of the mind, a science which aims to form the most general principles possible. Custom and habit are singled out by Hume as particularly potent general principles of human nature…Read more
