excellent book; horrrible edition
the treatise is a masterpiece in every sense of the word, but the Nortons have done a disservice to the academic community with this edition. their editorial section, which comprises a solid third of this edition, is extremely subpar. i've even heard that many Hume scholars have demanded that Oxford recall the critical text that was published as a companion to this edition. the oxford edition of the enquiry's is just fine, but i would recommend the sellby-bigges edition of the treatise instead of this one.
Very good, psychological philosophy
This book is like Sigmund Freud's books. You must get a commentary book to read this, or it wont make sense and sounds like pure latin. But if you buy a commentary book, 5 stars!
The best edition for this great work of philosophy
I have had this book for about a year now and I would say it is still the most helpful I have found for reading Humes' Treatise. Everything is explained well and completely, but it is the depth that impresses me, not only are the concepts explained with clarity, but in places where a point relates to an earlier concept it is noted down to the paragraph of where it appeared. Also when another philosophers view is similar or conflicts with Humes own view it is noted. The annotations in the back of the book alone by their helpfulness would give this book 5 stars, but the introduction is about as close as I have seen to a complete summary of Humes book without having to buy another book entirely. Overall the author has a good understanding of the text and can relate it to the student.

A General Introduction to Hume's Philosophy
The complex and often radical ideas formulated by Scotland's "Man of the Millenuim" are explained clearly and plainly in this companion without neglecting the more difficult issues that will concern students of philsophy. This book is particularly helpful in its discussion of Hume's scepticism and his views on morality and politics. It also provides a concise overview of Hume's empirical psychology.
