### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent
*by O***R on 24 December 2019*

Possibly my favourite text in the early modern philosophical cannon. Biting, decisive, and lucid - and written with wit. Although huge - and slightly bigger than needed - both the introduction and notes are excellent, written by one of my favourite Hume scholars. Highly recommended if you’re studying this at university or if you want to read it on your own, but be warned about the colossal size. (This is the biggest book I own except for the complete works of Shakespeare, and some art books). Arrived in good condition. Expensive, but not ridiculous for a university course book.
