* First study devoted entirely to Hume's influential views on freedom and responsibilityDavid Hume is generally credited with the classic statement of the 'compatibilist' position in the free will dispute. It is here argued that Hume's views on this subject, although largely influential, have nevertheless been seriously misrepresented. Classical readings have entirely overlooked Hume's naturalistic concerns and commitments, those very aspects of his general strategy which are of particular significance to the contemporary discussion.Russell, Paul is the author of 'Freedom and Moral Sentiment Hume's Way of Naturalizing Responsibility' with ISBN 9780195095012 and ISBN 0195095014.
