David Hume

Welcome to the home page of davidhume.org, a site devoted to the works of, and scholarship about, the great philosopher David Hume (1711-1776).

The site was created, and is administered, by Dr Peter Millican, Fellow and Tutor in Philosophy at Hertford College, Oxford University, and currently Co-Editor of the journal Hume Studies. The site is under development, and Hume scholars with potential contributions or suggestions are invited to send them to peter@davidhume.org.

If you have come here to find Peter Millican’s own papers on Hume, they are available from this link: Peter Millican’s papers on Hume.

Various resources are linked from the menu on the top right-hand side of the page. In addition to these resources, this site also hosts on-line editions of some of Hume’s philosophical works, available via the link in the left-hand menu. Currently available are the Treatise of Human Nature, the Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, and the Abstract of the Treatise. There are plans to extend the collection soon.

The collection is produced and maintained by the Leeds Electronic Text Centre.
