AWRIGHT AWREADY
Next semester, probably starting in February, I shall deliver a series of videotaped lectures on David Hume's Theory of Knowledge which will be posted, as I deliver them, on YouTube. Don't say I never did anything for you.
While I don't doubt this will be good, I'll admit that I'd rather see lectures on Hume's moral and political philosophy, which seem to me to be more interesting and plausible than his epistemology and metaphysics.
Oh awesome!!!! This is the best news I've seen around for a while I feel!
ReplyDeleteStill hoping for a series on Wittgenstein too but! Lol

ReplyDeleteI agree with Matt.
ReplyDeleteI am afraid I do not have anything interesting or original to say, about Hume's moral and political philosophy. You are on your own.
ReplyDeletefair enough! You should certainly spend time on what is interesting to you.
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteI'm sooooo excited! Can't wait.
ReplyDeleteOh yes please.
ReplyDeleteAnd any chance you might do one on Hobbes?
I am vexed as to whether he is an authoritarian or a democrat.
