Description
This is a summary of the David Hume: A Treatise of Human Nature Volume 2: Editorial Material. This volume contains an extensive set of "Editors' Annotations", intended to illuminate Hume's texts; a four-part bibliography of materials cited in both volumes; and a comprehensive index.
David and Mary Norton present the definitive scholarly edition of one of the greatest philosophical works ever written. This second volume begins with their 'Historical Account' of the Treatise, an account that runs from the beginnings of the work to the period immediately following Hume's death in 1776, followed by an account of the Nortons' editorial procedures and policies and a record of the differences between the first-edition text of the Treatise and the critical text that follows. The volume continues with an extensive set of 'Editors' Annotations', intended to illuminate (though not intepret) Hume's texts; a four-part bibliography of materials cited in both volumes; and a comprehensive index.
