| Summary: | Commentators on great thinkers from the past who fail to take proper account of how the ideas that those thinkers developed had similarities with older and contemporary works sometimes present their subjects as if they were towering rocks rising out of a featureless plain. Readers who take advantage of Tom L. Beauchamp's extensive introduction and detailed annotations to these two dissertations by Hume will be in no danger of such a failure in understanding. The ‘Editor's Annotations’ to the first page of A Dissertation on the Passions, for example, include references to twenty-three works, ranging from Aristotle and Cicero through Hobbes, Descartes, and Locke to lesser-known figures such as Reynolds, Le Brun, Coeffetau, and Henry Grove (described as a ‘tutor in ethics and pneumatology’). |
