Volume One discusses Descartes, Spinoza, and Leibniz, and Volume Two is an updated recasting of his Locke, Berkeley, Hume- Central Themes. This book examines the Enquiry, distancing it from the standard reading of a recasting of the Treatise. Hence, we also find Hume’s definitions at EHU 7.29; SBN 76-77, or Part Seven of the Enquiry, paragraph twenty-nine, what is billiards pages 76 and 77 of the Selby-Bigge Nidditch editions. This highly technical text first defends Hume’s skeptical induction against contemporary attempts at refutation, ultimately concluding that the difficulties in justifying induction are inherent. There are even interesting items in the hallways. As the whispers started circulating through town that perhaps there was more to these deaths than met the eye, Tiedemann decided to build on to the house to distract his wife from her grief. Another solution is to add more gimbals to the system. The result was a house that had rooms with several exits, more than 450 doorways, stairs that led to nowhere, secret passageways, and twists and turns unlike any other eccentric home on this list. It's said that the voices sometimes heard in the halls might be those of the 20 party members who were supposedly gunned down in one of the secret rooms.

Kail resists this by pointing out that Hume’s overall attitude strongly suggests that he "assumes the existence of material objects," and that Hume clearly employs the distinction and its terminology in at least one place: T 1.4.2.56; SBN 217-218. (Kail, 2007: 60) There, Hume describes a case in which philosophers develop a notion impossible to clearly and distinctly perceive, that somehow there are properties of objects independent of any perception. After giving an overview of the recent debate, Millican argues that the New Hume debate should be settled via Hume’s logic, rather than language, and so forth. Among other things, he argues for a novel way to square the two definitions of cause. Dauer takes a careful look at the text of the Treatise, followed by a critical discussion of the three most popular interpretations of the two definitions. Clatterbaugh takes an even stronger position than Blackburn, positing that for Hume to talk of efficacious secret powers would be literally to talk nonsense, and would force us to disregard Hume’s own epistemic framework, (Clatterbaugh 1999: 204) while Ott similarly argues that the inability to give content to causal terms means Hume cannot meaningfully affirm or deny causation.

The authors argue directly against the skeptical position, instead insisting that the Problem of induction targets only Hume’s rationalist predecessors. In other words, given the skeptical challenges Hume levels throughout his writings, why think that such a seemingly ardent skeptic would not merely admit the possibility of believing in a supposition, instead of insisting that this is, in fact, the nature of reality? Stove presents a math-heavy critique of Hume’s inductive skepticism by insisting that Hume claims too much. This book is an extended development of Hume’s doxastic naturalism over his empiricism. After engaging the non-rational belief mechanism responsible for our belief in body, he goes on to argue, "Belief in causal action is, Hume argues, equally natural and indispensable; and he freely recognizes the existence of ‘secret’ causes, acting independently of experience." (Kemp Smith 2005: 88) He connects these causal beliefs to the unknown causes that Hume tells us are "original qualities in human nature." (T 1.1.4.6; SBN 13) Kemp Smith therefore holds that Humean doxastic naturalism is sufficient for Humean causal realism. Kemp Smith argues for something stronger, that this non-rational mechanism itself implies causal realism.

Baier argues for a nuanced reading of the Treatise, that we can only understand it with the addition of the passions, and so forth, of the later Books. This is an important but technical explication and defense of the Humean causal reductionist position, both as a historical reading and as a contemporary approach to causation. Here, he defends the Humean skeptical realism that he considers necessary for other strands of Hume’s philosophy. This is one of the standard explications of Humean causal realism. After he killed one of his own men, Kidd's crew mutinied. In 2008, one of Google's perks changed dramatically. A complex book that discusses the works of several philosophers in arguing for its central thesis, Craig’s work is one of the first to defend a causal realist interpretation of Hume. Even granting that Hume has a non-rational mechanism at work and that we arrive at causal beliefs via this mechanism does not imply that Hume himself believes in robust causal powers, or that it is appropriate to do so. This picture has been parsed out in terms of doxastic naturalism, transcendental arguments, psychological necessity, instinct, and even some form of proper function.
