A propos de cet article

This is the scarce third printing (March 1966) of the 1965 first edition. The striking modernist cover design features a bold black abstract geometric silhouette (stylised head/profile) on a mustard-gold background with white spine lettering – classic 1960s Wadsworth house style. The back cover lists companion volumes in the series (Plato’s Meno: Text and Criticism and Meta-Meditations: Studies in Descartes). Contents (complete): • Introduction • H. H. Price – “The Permanent Significance of Hume’s Philosophy” • Antony Flew – “Private Images and Public Language” • Douglas Gasking – “Causation and Recipes” • Karl R. Popper – “Hume’s Explanation of Inductive Inference” • P. F. Strawson – “The Justification of Induction” • C. D. Broad – “Hume’s Theory of the Credibility of Miracles” • Terence Penelhum – “Hume on Personal Identity” • Suggested Further Readings (pp. 115–116) This anthology was designed as an affordable undergraduate companion for philosophy courses, pairing Hume’s empiricism, scepticism, causation, induction, miracles, and personal identity with major 20th-century critical essays. It remains a valuable teaching and reference text for Hume scholars. Provenance – Association Copy Neat contemporary ink ownership inscription on the front free endpaper: “Terence Paul Smith, February 1968” (with a small red checkmark). Terence Paul Smith (b. 1945) is a respected British historian, archaeologist, and architectural historian. He is best known for his pioneering work on medieval and post-medieval brickmaking and brick architecture in England (The Medieval Brickmaking Industry in England, 1400–1450, BAR British Series 138, 1985), Anglo-Saxon churches (The Anglo-Saxon Churches of Hertfordshire, 1973), windmills, industrial archaeology, and Dutch influence on English building materials. He has published extensively with the British Brick Society and contributed to major academic journals and reports. This inscription dates from his early student/researcher years and adds genuine historical interest to the volume. Series: Wadsworth Studies in Philosophical Criticism Copyright © 1965 Third Printing, March 1966 L.C. Catalog Card No.: 65-11872 Paperback, approx. 116 pages + prelims Printed in the United States of America Condition Good to Very Good for a 60-year-old academic paperback.

Pages: clean and unmarked except for the ownership inscription. Light age-toning/shadowing/offsetting on the copyright page and very minor handling marks consistent with student use. No foxing, underlining, highlighting, or library stamps. Overall: a solid, attractive example that displays well.
