This book proposes a new and systematic interpretation of the mental nature, function and structure, and importance of the imagination in Book 1, ‘Of the Understanding’, of Hume’s Treatise of Human Nature. The proposed interpretation has deeply revisionary implications for Hume’s philosophy of mind and for his naturalism, epistemology, and stance to scepticism. The book remedies a surprising blindspot in Hume scholarship and contributes to the current, lively philosophical debate on imagination. Hume’s philosophy, if rightly understood, gives suggestions about how to treat imagination as a mental natural kind, its cognitive complexity and variety of functions notwithstanding.
