The Foundation of Hume's PhilosophyAuthor(s): Paul A. Mwaipaya\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138343597, 978-1138343597\nSynopsis\nFirst published in 1999, this volume endeavours to determine the coherence of David Humes philosophical system. That is, to show that Hume philosophy is founded upon nothing but his doctrine of belief, from which the entirety of Humes philosophy may ultimately be derived. Paul A. Mwaipaya demonstrates the coherence of Humes thoughts in order to show where it has been misunderstood and to dissolve confusing interpretations of Humes philosophy. This ultimate commonality is derived through examinations of Humes general theory of perception, Humes theory of knowledge and probability and Humes theory of passions and morality.
