Seven of the essays focus on David Hume, and examine the sources and implications of his \"naturalism\" and his \"scepticism.\" Three others deal with the legacy of that \"naturalism\" in the twentieth century. In each case Stroud moves beyond providing a description of historical contexts and developments, and confronts the philosophical issues as they present themselves to the philosophers in question.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarry Stroud\u003c\/strong\u003e is Willis S. and Marion Slusser Professor of Philosophy in the University of California, Berkeley.
