About this book
By placing Hume in the developing tradition of social science, as a strong forerunner of his younger friend Adam Smith, Hardin shows Hume's strong strategic sense, his powerful theory of convention as a main source of social and political order, and his recognition of moral and political theory as a single enterprise.
