Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | This is the first edited collection dedicated to demonstrating Hume’s relevance to contemporary debates in epistemology. It features original essays by Hume scholars and epistemologists that address a wide range of important questions, including the following:- What does a Humean conception of knowledge look like?- How do Hume’s understanding of belief and suspension of judgement bear on current debates about doxastic attitudes?- Is there a Humean way of uniting reasons in the epistemic and practical domains?- What is the proper role of reason at the foundations of ethics and epistemology from a Humean point of view?- What contribution might an examination of Humean scepticism make to understanding of current sceptical hypotheses?- Is Hume a hinge epistemologist?- Does naturalized epistemology trace back to Hume?- Does Hume have an ethics of belief?- What can Hume contribute to virtue and vice epistemology?Some chapters try to bring historically accurate interpretations of Hume’s ideas into contact with current issues, while others will take ideas merely suggested by Hume and demonstrate their philosophical usefulness. Together, they demonstrate Hume’s enduring relevance for debates about knowledge, belief, inquiry and suspension, reasons, modal knowledge, scepticism, hinge epistemology, naturalized epistemology, the ethics of belief and moral epistemology, virtue and vice epistemology, and the epistemology of testimony.Hume and Contemporary Epistemology will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working on Hume, epistemology, and the history of philosophy |
