Recenzje

Anderson is [...] careful in his analysis and does not draw any hasty conclusions when advancing his own views. Where there is speculation, it is supported with passages from Kant's and Hume's texts, historical documents, and possible counter interpretations. This careful nature of proceeding is one of the virtues of the book. The book will obviously be of interest to Hume and Kant scholars who seek to understand how Hume's ideas influenced Kant's. But it will also be of interest to those seeking to understand the nature of Hume's scepticism.
