"David Fate Norton and Mary J. Norton's new edition of David Hume's A Treatise of Human Nature..establishes a new standard for scholars engaged with that work"

--Peter S. Fosl Journal of the History of Philosophy

"A tous points de vue (scientificité éditoriale, mise en contexte historique, references externes et références internes), cette nouvelle édition du Traité savère remarquable, et tout à fait indeispensable."

--Eléonore Le Jallé, Archives de philosophie

Review from previous edition: "Useful far beyond the small circle of scholarly experts... The Treatise has a fair claim to be the most important and influential philosophical text ever written in English... After more than 250 years, Hume is still at the front line of philosophical inquiry... This edition belongs in any university or college library anywhere in the world, and its publication will certainly excite more than a murmur among philosophers and scholars."
