Bøker av Barry Stroud

This book raises questions about the nature of philosophy by examining the source and significance of one central philosophical problem: how can we know anything about the world around us? Stroud discusses and criticizes the views of such philosophers as Descartes, Kant, J.L. Austin, G.E. Moore, R. Carnap, W.V. Quine, and others.

Recent books on Hume have concentrated only on particular issues in his philosophy. This study offers a more consistent, unified interpretation and emphasizes the interest and importance of Hume's views for philosophers today.
