Contra la opinión de parte de la crítica, que ve en los escritos religiosos de DAVID HUME (1711-1776) mera curiosidad culturalista, o incluso irreverencia e ironía, el interés del pensador escocés por que sus Diálogos sobre la religión natural se vieran publicados aun después de su muerte desmiente que diera poca importancia a este tema. Si bien la actitud de Hume hacia la experiencia religiosa pudo ser escéptica, la indudable presencia en esta obra -como apunta en su prólogo Carlos Mellizo- de todos aquellos temas básicos presentes en todo sistema de ideas o creencias religiosas hacen de ella no sólo una indagación sobre la religión, sino también, en su dimensión estrictamente filosófica, uno de los pilares fundamentales del pensamiento moderno en torno al tema del teísmo especulativo

"This book provides a reading of Newton's argument for universal gravity that is focused on the evidence-based, "experimental" reasoning that Newton associates with his program of experimental philosophy. It highlights the richness and complexity of the Principia and also draws important lessons about how to situate Newton in his natural philosophical context. The book has two primary objectives. First, it defends a novel interpretation of the third of Newton's four Rules for the Study of Natural Philosophy-what the author terms the Two-Set Reading of Rule 3. Second, it argues that this novel interpretation of Rule 3 sheds additional light on the differences between Newton's experimental philosophy and Descartes's "hypothetical philosophy," and that it also illuminates how the practice of experimental philosophy allowed Newton to make a universal force of gravity the centerpiece of his explanation of the system of the world. Newton's Third Rule and the Experimental Argument for Universal Gravity will be of interest to researchers and advanced students working on Newton's natural philosophy, early modern philosophy, and the history of science"-- Provided by publisher.

Nature and Necessity: An Essay in Physical Ontology presents genuinely new solutions to some salient problems in metaphysics. Fisk provides a new argument, based on the notion of conditional probability, for the claim that induction presupposes necessary connections. After devising an ontology of physical individuals to provide an objective basis for necessary connections, he uses this ontology to solve problems about relations, action, time, capacities, and events.
