Megjegyzések:The infidel and the professor David Hume is widely regarded as the most important philosopher ever to write in English, but during his lifetime he was attacked as the Great Infidel for his skeptical religious views and deemed unfit to teach the young. In contrast, Adam Smith was a revered professor of moral philosophy, and is now often hailed as the founding father of capitalism. Remarkably, the two were best friends for most of their adult lives, sharing what Dennis Rasmussen calls the greatest of all philosophical friendships. The Infidel and the Professor is the first book to tell the fascinating story of the friendship of these towering Enlightenment thinkersand how it influenced their world-changing ideas. The book follows Hume and Smiths relationship from their first meeting in 1749 until Humes death in 1776. It describes how they commented on each others writings, supported each others careers and literary ambitions, and advised each other on personal matters, most notably after Humes quarrel with Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Members of a vibrant intellectual scene in Enlightenment Scotland, Hume and Smith made many of the same friends (and enemies), joined the same clubs, and were interested in many of the same subjects well beyond philosophy and economicsfrom psychology and history to politics and Britains conflict with the American colonies. The book reveals that Smiths private religious views were considerably closer to Humes public ones than is usually believed. It also shows that Hume contributed more to economicsand Smith contributed more to philosophythan is generally recognized. Vividly written, The Infidel and the Professor is a compelling account of a great friendship that had great consequences for modern thought
