Hume in 90 Minutes

De: Paul Strathern

Narrado por: Robert Whitfield

David Hume reduced philosophy to ruins: he denied the existence of everything, except our actual perceptions themselves. I alone exist, he argued, and the world is nothing more than part of my consciousness. Yet we know that the world remains, and we go on as before. What Hume expressed was the status of our knowledge about the world, a world in which neither religion nor science is certain.

In Hume in 90 Minutes, Paul Strathern offers a concise, expert account of Hume's life and ideas and explains their influence on man's struggle to understand his existence in the world. The book also includes selections from Hume's work, a brief list of suggested readings for those who wish to delve deeper, and chronologies that place Hume within his own age and in the broader scheme of philosophy.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A godsend in this era of the short attention span." (New York Times)
"Witty, illuminating, and blessedly concise." (Wall Street Journal)

Hume on Hume

Sometimes painful, (for me anyway), but an excellent chronology of Hume, and a very good explanation of most of Humes’ philosophical ideas.

Review

As all the Strathern philosophy series, it is well written, informative and enjoyable to hear.

Delightful

Quick and to the point. Very enjoyable for even someone with a passing interest in intellectual philosophy.

Very nice overview

I was surprised on the amount of information they put in this 90 minute audiobook.

Really good

All the 90 min books are good. Across the board would listen to them. Short and gives you a solid understanding.
