Foundations of Research in Anglo-American Philosophy - PHIL701
This unit provides the opportunity for an in-depth study of foundational texts in Anglo-American philosophy. This year, we will focus on David Hume’s “Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding” and his “Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals”. In these works, Hume developed a unified empiricist study of human understanding and human nature, incorporating influential and controversial examinations of topics including reason, knowledge, causation, free will, religion and morality. We will examine the arguments presented in these texts in detail, and consider the influence of Hume’s thought on later philosophy.
