This book explores the historical dimension of David Humes philosophy a feature that Spencer Wertz calls historical empiricism. According to Wertz Hume sought to understand the present in terms of the past in a way that anticipates the historical constructionism of R.G. Collingwood and Herbert Butterfield. Humes method is to tell a story about somethings origin in which ideas yield impressions. These impressions eventually yield to experience that includes history as part of its structure. Arguing that Hume worked between history and philosophy Wertz demonstrates that Humes historical empiricism consists of four key concepts. These concepts are history human nature experience and nature all of which play a role in historical narration taste moral judgments and the historiography of science. Bringing new insights to the study of Humes work this book will be an important resource for scholars of philosophy.
