The first is a “Bibliography of Hume’s Writings” that I constructed for my own benefit while preparing the Early Responses to Hume series. Although it does not merit printed publication in its present state, Thoemmes Press has offered to typeset it at their expense, with the belief that, as a freely available computer file, it will be useful for Hume scholars as it is. It is my hope that someone in the future will prepare a more definitive work of this sort. The second is “A Bibliography of Early Responses to Hume,” which is taken directly from the final pages of Early Responses to Hume’s Life and Reputation (2003). This is also made freely available through the generosity of Thoemmes Press. The “Major Events in Hume’s Life” and indexes are also taken directly from that work.

NEW Hume web biblio 26_08_2004.qxd 01/09/2004 10:39 Page 3 A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF HUME’S WRITINGS Constructing a bibliography of Hume’s writings is a challenging task since he published a large number of items during a span of over 35 years, most of which he continually revised, often shifting the placement of material and changing titles. Also, during his life and after, many of his works went through numerous editions. The present bibliography is an attempt to consolidate at least some of the complex data on the subject that appears in many separate sources. It is in no sense definitive and has at best provisional value since we can expect scholars in the future to overturn common assumptions about the publishing history of known editions of Hume’s works. This is especially the case with the Clarendon Edition of the Works of David Hume (in progress), which will systematically update the bibliographical record on the early editions of Hume’s writings. I have physically examined only a handful of the several hundred books listed below and have thus relied on previous bibliographical citations for everything else. These citations unfortunately include inaccu- racies and reflect inconsistent pagination conventions used by librarians who originally recorded the information. Although I have tried to be thorough in my compilation of this material, particularly with 18th century English language editions of Hume, I cannot claim that this bibliography is complete. The entries below on foreign language editions of Hume’s writings are inten- tionally selective, due largely to limited foreign language resources available to me. The main sources of information for this bibliography were electronic bibli- ographical databases, especially the English Short Title Catalogue, OCLC, RLIN, and several online library catalogues. In addition to these I have relied on printed works listed at the close under “Bibliographical Resources.” 3 NEW Hume web biblio 26_08_2004.qxd 01/09/2004 10:39 Page 4 4 A Bibliography of Hume’s Writings and Early Responses Contents 1.

Hume composed his three-volume Treatise of Human Nature in his early 20s while in La Flèche, France; the first two volumes appeared together in 1739, and the third in 1740. A manuscript dated September 26, 1738 exists of the agreement between Hume and his bookseller John Noon for the first two volumes (National Library of Scotland, MS 23159, item 5).

The authors discuss literature as a culturally embedded form of knowledge production in its own right, which deploys narrative and poetic means of exploration to establish an independent and sometimes dissident archive. The worlds that imaginary texts project are shown to open up alternative perspectives to be reckoned with in the academic articulation and public discussion of issues in economics and the sciences, identity formation and wellbeing, legal rationale and political decision-making.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-81270-2 - The Cambridge Companion to: Thomas Reid Edited by Terence Cuneo and Rene´ van Woudenberg Frontmatter More information the cambridge companion to THOMAS REID Each volume of this series of companions to major philoso- phers contains specially commissioned essays by an inter- national team of scholars, together with a substantial bibli- ography, and will serve as a reference work for students and nonspecialists. One aim of the series is to dispel the intimi- dation such readers often feel when faced with the work of a difficult and challenging thinker. Widely acknowledged as the principal architect of Scot- tish common sense philosophy, Thomas Reid is increasingly recognized today as one of the finest philosophers of the 18th century. Combining a sophisticated response to the skepti- cal and idealist views of his day with a robust realism about mind, world, and value, Reid’s thought stands as an impor- tant alternative to Humean skepticism, Kantian idealism, and Cartesian rationalism. This volume is the first compre- hensive overview of Reid’s output and covers not only his philosophy in detail but also his scientific work and his ex- tensive historical influence. New readers will find this the most convenient and ac- cessible guide to Reid currently available. Advanced students and specialists will find a conspectus of recent developments in the interpretation of Reid.

  • The Limits of Naturalism and the Metaphysics of German Idealism

    The Limits of Naturalism and the Metaphysics of German Idealism

    1 The Limits of Naturalism and the Metaphysics of German Idealism Sebastian Gardner ‘In einem schwankenden Zeitalter scheut man alles Absolute und Selbständige; deshalb mögen wir denn auch weder ächten Spaß, noch ächten Ernst, weder ächte Tugend noch ächte Bosheit mehr leiden.’ − Nachtwachen von Bonaventura, Dritte Nachtwache One issue above all forces itself on anyone attempting to make sense of the development of German idealism out of Kant. Is German idealism, in the full sense of the term, metaphysical? The wealth of new anglophone, chiefly North American writing on German idealism, particularly on Hegel – characterized by remarkable depth, rigour, and creativity – has put the perennial question of German idealism’s metaphysicality in a newly sharp light, and in much of this new scholarship a negative answer is returned to the question. Recent interpretation of German idealism owes much to the broader philosophical environment in which it has proceeded. Over recent decades analytic philosophy has enlarged its view of the discipline’s scope and relaxed its conception of the methods appropriate to philosophical enquiry, and in parallel to this development analytically trained philosophers have returned to the history of philosophy, the study of which is now regarded by many as a legitimate and important (perhaps even necessary) form of philosophical enquiry. It remains the case, at the same time, that the kinds of philosophical positions most intensively worked on and argued about in non-historical, systematic analytic philosophy are predominantly naturalistic − and thus, on the face of it, not in any immediate and obvious sense receptive to the central ideas of German idealism.

    THE LESLIE CONTROVERSY, 1805 By IAN D. L. CLARK, M.A. IN the Spring of the year r805, after a violent struggle between rival factions in Edinburgh, John Leslie was appointed to the Chair of Mathe­ matics in the university, and the Moderate Party in the Church of Scotland sustained its first major defeat for more than fifty years. Historians have rightly interpreted this incident as a landmark in the story of the eventual decline and fall of the Moderates as an ecclesiastical party, and perhaps rather more controversially as a triumph for liberal and enlightened opinion in Scotland; but they have, I think, failed to understand the deeper significance of what was happening. Ecclesiastical and secular politics played an important part in the struggle, but what was really at stake was "moderatism" as a theological and ecclesiological system. In the arguments put forward by the opposing parties two radically different religious positions came into conflict. The whole framework of r8th century "rational" religion was shaken by Leslie's supporters, and many of the presuppositions upon which Moderatism had hitherto rested were destroyed. At the same time the opponents of the Moderate Party profited from the disastrous way in which the Moderate leaders handled the case. Thus from the point of view both of church politics and of theology Leslie's appointment was to have a considerable and direct influence. If this claim seems extravagant, consider some of the issues at stake. Not only did the Moderates become involved in an unusually bitter contest with their traditional evangelical opponents, but for the first time they forfeited the good opinion of the educated and professional classes in Edinburgh, and what was perhaps even more significant, they lost the support of several of the most prominent government officers in Scotland.
