David Hume (1711-1776) has been called "the greatest philosophical mind in the English language" by Cornel West, and is one of the most influential philosophers of the Enlightenment era.
In this lively and fully-acted performance, Hollywood actor Charlton Heston narrates an overview of Hume's life, philosophy, and influence as described by noted Hume scholar Nicholas Capaldi, current professor emeritus of Loyola University.
This recording is remastered from a set of cassette recordings called "The Giants of Philosophy" first published in 1990 and available now on Internet Archive.
