The Great Guide: What Hume Can Teach Us about Being Human and Living Well
by Julian Baggini
The Great Guide by Julian Baggini is a wonderful introduction to David Hume, the 18th century Scottish philosopher, and blends in his precepts and views with travelling in his footsteps and learning about his life. “Hume didn’t just write about how to live,” writes Baggini. “He modelled the good life.”
