Scottish Philosophy

Scottish Philosophy: A Comparison of the Scottish and German Answers to Hume is a book written by Andrew Seth. It is a comparative study of the philosophical traditions of Scotland and Germany, with a particular focus on how they have responded to the work of David Hume, a prominent Scottish philosopher of the 18th century.
