{"product_id":"david-hume-and-the-problem-anik-waldow-9780826433046","title":"David Hume and the Problem of Other Minds","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe problem of other minds has widely been considered as a special problem within the debate about scepticism. If one cannot be sure that there is a world existing independent ly of one's mind, how can we be sure that there are minds - minds which we cannot even experience the way we experience material objects? \u003cbr\u003eThis book shows, through a detailed examination of David Hume's A Treatise of Human Nature, that these concerns are unfounded. By focusing on Hume's discussion of sympathy - the ability to connect with the mental contents of other persons - Anik Waldow demonstrates that belief in other minds can be justified by the same means as belief in material objects. \u003cbr\u003eThe book thus not only provides the first large-scale treatment of the function of the belief in other minds within the Treatise, thereby adding a new dimension to Hume's realism, but also serves as an invaluable guide to the complexity of the problem of other minds and its various responses in contemporary debate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anik Waldow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0826433049\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826433046\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Continuum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.20w x 0.60d","brand":"Anik Waldow","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48216513380607,"sku":"9780826433046","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6509896c-f5f2-4c47-b2f0-4535ef0823d7.jpg?v=1771991500","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/david-hume-and-the-problem-anik-waldow-9780826433046","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
