"The breadth of The Cambridge Companion to Hume matches the
sweeping scope of Hume's thought....Even though each essay
considers in depth a distinct area of Hume's thinking, this volume
has the cohesiveness of a text, with some of the authors writing
with an explicit awareness of other essays included in the
collection....Norton has admirably produced a book that will serve
as an invaluable and enduring repository of accessible
presentations by accomplished scholars on the major areas of Hume's
thought." Elizabeth S. Radcliffe, Philosophical Review

"...a valuable resource for graduate and advanced undergraduate
classes....Though Hume specialists will surely find this book
helpful--especially as a starting point for filling in gaps in
their knowledge--it is crafted with a larger audience in mind.
Nonspecialists will find the essays accessible and stimulating,
full of useful material both about Hume's intellectual context and
about Hume's contributions to shaping issues that grip us now." Ira
Singer, Ethics
"...an attarctive volume. It will be useful both to those who want
to see the grand design of Hume's work as well as those who are
interested only in his contributions to one or another discipline."
John Immerwahr, International Studies in Philosophy
"...individual articles will be useful to those teaching Hume, and
will provide an excellent resource for students or researchers who
are writing on one of these topics. In my judgement, the book is
generally reliabel..." Nathan Brett, Dialogue
