Hume's True Scepticism - Ainslie, Donald C. (University of Toronto)

David Hume is famous as a sceptic but the nature of his scepticism is hard to pin down. Donald Ainslie provides the first sustained interpretation of Hume's deepest engagement with sceptical arguments, in his Treatise, which argues that, while reason shows that we ought not to believe the verdicts of reason or the senses, we do so nonetheless.
