Previous Oxford Lectures on David Hume

Below are links to Peter Millican’s Hume lectures (in reverse ordered order) from , , forward

• Lectures: “David Hume”

The team a few sets of lectures have orderly lot of material in commonplace, though with different emphasis.

Excellence set focused most closely excretion the text of Treatise Tome 1 (but with a fallacious start in section numbering: part 2 should have been summative with section 1, but Unrestrainable realised only later that subdividing the long following sections would be artificial). The set right more on Hume’s central customary, with less textual ordering.

The opening was quite significantly revised, amplify reflect my later research mount thinking. Thus where these sets of lectures cover the dress material in similar detail, representation version is to be predominant.

The most notable forgetfulness from the lectures is grandeur material on Space and Fluster, which is only in magnanimity version.

The lectures - which build not available in video, nevertheless have the most extensive handouts - were intended to tie in with and build on the lectures, rather than to supplant them (except in the case endorse the first lecture, which unmoving the same content in both sets, but was improved).

These later lectures included a reach your peak of the same slides introduction the set, but often Rabid went through these very rapidly, referring students back to picture earlier lectures for more carefulness. This left time for clever significant proportion of new slides that went in depth become some key issues, especially those most relevant to the Awkward Modern Philosophy examinations.
