Hume and Rousseau, an Astonishing and Mesmerizing Tale

In the course of reading to understand better the differences and the dispute between Voltaire and Rousseau, I read a truly wonderful book, The Philosophers’ Quarrel: Rousseau, Hume, and the Limits of Human Understanding. I cannot recommend this book too highly to those who are interested in intellectual history, not merely as the history of books, but as the history of intellects. It’s a great read and very, very rewarding.
