Università Roma Tre

The course takes as its focus knowledge and passion in the philosophy of David Hume. The first part is a critical examination of the thesis treating the theoretical work of the British empiricists as the work of just one school of thought, and of the thesis portraying the empiricism-rationalism divide as inherent to the Western philosophical tradition. The second and third part of the course have analytic character and are concerned with the critical examination of Hume's Traetise.
