Aint you sad to see him go...?

Hello all,

A little bit of business and then some (useful, Hume-related) links:

For those of you who are posting for the first time, you can post ANYWHERE you like on this page - either scroll down to join the conversations below (see Questions 1, 2, and 3) or respond to one of the articles I've put up.

Now, some links.

First, let me direct you to Glyn Hughes' Squashed Philosophers. Here you can find his condensed version of Hume's Inquiry - for use as clarification, not as a substitute for reading the text or for copying for your essays. (Not like any of you would deign to do such a thing...)

Second, another really good outline of the Inquiry, hosted by Philosophy Pages.

Third, for those of you who would rather listen to commentary than read it, here's an episode of the radio show Philosophy Talk (yes, such a thing exists) devoted to...you guessed it, David Hume.

And finally, for the scientifically-minded among you, here is a (university-sponsored) web-page dedicated David Hume, who is, according to them, "the philosopher best known for proving, beyond any possible doubt, that Philosophy is Bullshit." It's also a pretty good recap of a lot of the arguments we've been looking at.

After all this serious contemplation, you might want some lighter fare - if so, why not take a quiz that will tell you (with unsurpassed accuracy) all about your world view?

See you soon,
Clara
