In this groundbreaking work, Thomas W. Merrill shows how Hume鈥檚 turn is the core of his thought, linking Hume鈥檚 metaphysical and philosophical crisis to the moral-political inquiries of his mature thought. Merrill shows how Hume鈥檚 comparison of himself to Socrates in the introduction to the Treatise illuminates the dramatic structure and argument of the book as a whole, and he traces Hume鈥檚 underappreciated argument about the political role of philosophy in the Essays.
