Owen offers new interpretations of many of Hume's most famous arguments, about demonstration and the relation of ideas, induction, belief, and scepticism. Hume's Reason will be illuminating not just to historians of modern philosophy but to all philosophers who are concerned with the workings of human cognition UR - https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/orpp/detail.action?docID=3053091 ER -
