Review

Review from previous edition These new Oxford University Press editions have been meticulously collated from various exatant versions. Each text has an excellent introduction including an overview of Hume's thought and an account of his life and times. Even the difficult, and rarely commented-on, chapters on space and time are elucidated. There are also useful notes on the text and glossary. These scholarly new editions are ideally adapted for a whole range of readers, from beginners to experts. (Jane O'Grady, Catholic Herald)

The edition of the Enquiry concerning the Principles of Morals is, in a word, superb ... I am full of admiration for the excellence of its scholarship. If the remaining volumes of the Clarendon Edition of Hume reach the same standard, it will be a veritable jewel (David Raphael, British Journal of the History of Philosophy)
