{"product_id":"the-origins-of-david-humes-willie-henderson-9780415778633","title":"The Origins of David Hume's Economics","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe book covers Hume's biographical development; his self appraisal as a 'man of letters'; his philosophical writings with emphasis on their direct and indirect economic content; his self-aware criticism of his approach to the \u003cem\u003eTreatise\u003c\/em\u003e and the development of his rhetorical understanding of the needs\/interests of his readers\/potential readers; his rhetorical turn and Ciceronian adjustments to his writing within the genre of the essay, including his two \u003cem\u003eEnquiries\u003c\/em\u003e; his political essays and his nine essays conventionally classified as economic. The work aims to show how the \u003cem\u003eTreatise\u003c\/em\u003e and its vicissitudes gave rise to his economics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe work takes a broad approach to Hume and his writings on economic topics from the \u003cem\u003eTreatise\u003c\/em\u003e, through the\u003cem\u003e Enquires\u003c\/em\u003e and on to his political and economic essay. The work also explores Hume's textual method and charts the move from abstruse philosophy to a Ciceronian engagement with social conditions and problems as developed in the \u003cem\u003ePolitical Discourses\u003c\/em\u003e. In addition, Hume's extensive use of analogies is also brought into clearer focus than is found in other texts. Overall, the book will be of great use to both postgraduates and undergraduates alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Willie Henderson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415778638\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415778633\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/17\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Willie Henderson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48658878202111,"sku":"9780415778633","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-origins-of-david-humes-willie-henderson-9780415778633","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
