This is a study of Hume's political thought based on a survey of all his writings in their original and revised versions, with very full reference to the works of predecessors and contemporaries, including journalists, pamphleteers and historians. Hume's political thinking is presented in its historical context as a modem, 'philosophical', empirically based system of politics for a new post-revolutionary age, and a political education for parochial, backward-looking party men.Forbes, Duncan is the author of 'Hume's Philosophical Politics', published 1975 under ISBN 9780521207546 and ISBN 0521207541.
