 | David Hume's Humanity : The Philosophy of Common Life and Its Limits Scott Yenor argues that David Hume's reputation as a skeptic is greatly exaggerated and that Hume's skepticism is a moment leading Hume to defend common life philosophy and the humane commercial republic. Gentle, humane virtues reflect the proper reaction to the complex mixture of human faculties that define the human condition. Scott Yenor is a Professor of Political Science at Boise State University, USA, where he teaches political philosophy. He is the author of Family Politics: The Idea of Marriage in Modern Political Thought (2011). He earned his PhD in Political Science from Loyola University Chicago. |
