Aims, contents and method of the course
David Hume (1711-1776), according to historian Peter Gay "the most radical of radical philosophers" is one of the most important thinkers of the enlightenment. In this reading seminar we will approach his /Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding/ and read excerpts from his posthumously published /Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion/.

If you give a presentation on one of the topics/chapters under discussion, the number of excerpts you will have to write is reduced to nine. -- Attendance is mandatory, you may miss two course units. You will be graded on each part of your contributions to class, the written papers amount to 70 per cent of your final grade, 30 per cent are based on your participation in in-class discussions.By registering for this introductory reading seminar, you tacitly agree to having all your electronic submissions checked by Turnitin.
