Take classes with me - https://reasonio.teachable.com/ In this twenty-third installment of our quarterly series, Philosophers in the Midst of History, I discuss the life, thought, and influence of the modern philosopher, literary essayist, and historian, David Hume. We look at his situation in the culture of Great Britain and Scotland of his time, his philosophical ideas, and the influence that he had from the late 18th century onward. Other talks in this series focused upon Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Epicurus, Cicero, Epictetus, Plutarch, Augustine of Hippo, Boethius, Anselm of Canterbury, Bonaventure, Thomas Aquinas, Rene Descartes, Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, G.W.F. Hegel, Friedrich Nietzsche, Maurice Blondel, Albert Camus, Simone de Beauvoir, and Hannah Arendt.
