Hume and Contemporary Epistemology

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:

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?
