  The Age of Enlightenment  

The Philosophers' Quarrel
Rousseau, Hume, and the Limits of Human Understanding



This engaging book presents a full account of the tragic collapse of the friendship between Rousseau and Hume, the two most important thinkers of the eighteenth century. The authors explore the relation between the men’s quarrel and their philosophical thought and discuss how their incompatible ideas reverberate in thinking today.
