The Scottish philosopher and historian David Hume (1711–1776) has often been regarded as a key Enlightenment thinker. However, his image has been long contested between those who consider him a conservative and those who see him as a key liberal thinker. Hume's Sceptical Enlightenment offers a new interpretation for such diverse images and demonstrates the uniqueness of Hume as an Enlightenment thinker, illustrating how his 'spirit of scepticism' often leads him into seemingly paradoxical positions. This book will be of interest to Hume scholars, intellectual historians of 17th- to 19th-century Europe and those interested in the Enlightenment more widely.
Ryu Susato is Professor of Intellectual History at Kansai University (Osaka, Japan). He graduated from Waseda University and received his PhD from Keio University. He has published several articles in the Journal of the History of Ideas, Hume Studies and Modern Intellectual History. He is also a joint-translator of the Japanese edition of the Stuart volumes of Hume’s History of England (forthcoming).
