Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
The fifteen essays in this second edition of this highly popular Companion address all aspects of Hume's wide-ranging thought.
MoreLong description:
Although best known for his contributions to the theory of knowledge, metaphysics, and philosophy of religion, Hume also influenced developments in the philosophy of mind, psychology, ethics, political and economic theory, political and social history, and aesthetic theory. The fifteen essays in this volume address all aspects of Hume's thought. The picture of him that emerges is that of a thinker who, though often critical to the point of scepticism, was nonetheless able to build on that scepticism a constructive, viable, and profoundly important view of the world. Also included in this volume are Hume's two brief autobiographies and a bibliography suited to those beginning their study of Hume. This second edition of one our most popular Companions includes six new essays and a new introduction, and the remaining essays have all been updated or revised.
'The breadth of The Cambridge Companion to Hume matches the sweeping scope of Hume's thought. ... Even though each essay considers in depth a distinct area of Hume's thinking, this volume has the cohesiveness of a text, with some of the authors writing with an explicit awareness of other essays included in the collection ... Norton has admirably produced a book that will serve as an invaluable and enduring repository of accessible presentations by accomplished scholars on the major areas of Hume's thought.' Elizabeth S. Radcliffe, Philosophical Review
