Hume reduced philosophy to ruins: he denied the existence of everything--except our actual perceptions themselves. I alone exist, he argued, and the entire world is nothing more than part of my consciousness. Yet we know that the entire world remains, and we go on as before. What Hume expressed was the status of our own knowledge about the entire world, a world in which neither religion nor science is certain. In Hume in 90 Minutes, Paul Strathern offers a concise, expert account of Hume's life and ideas and explains their influence on man's struggle to understand his existence on the planet. The book also contains selections from Hume's work, a short list of suggested readings for individuals who wish to delve deeper, and chronologies that place Hume within his own age and in the broader scheme of philosophy.
