Despite Hume's own emphasis on their importance, general rules have rarely received the sustained scholarly attention they deserve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBringing together contributions from leading Hume scholars including Donald Ainslie, Lorne Falkenstein, Peter Fosl, Jennifer Marušić, Peter Millican, and Jacqueline Taylor, this volume explores how general rules function across Hume's philosophical system. The contributors explore how general rules shape causal inference and belief formation; their influence on passions, sympathy, and moral judgments; their role in prejudice formation and critical thinking; and how they function in basic cognition and concept formation. The volume reveals Hume's sophisticated understanding of cognitive processes, including what modern philosophers might recognize as dual-process theories and implicit bias. By examining how general rules operate throughout Hume's work, it provides fresh insights into his theories of reason, passion, morality, and human nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Prevalence of General Rules in Hume’s Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003e is an excellent resource for Hume scholars, historians of philosophy, and those interested in epistemology, moral psychology, and the history of psychology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJames Chamberlain\u003c\/b\u003e is a Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Sheffield and a Trustee of the charity Philosophy in Prison.
