Jacqueline Taylor is Professor of philosophy at the University of San Francisco. She co-edited the second edition of the Cambridge Companion to Hume, and has published many articles on Hume, as well as on contemporary moral psychology.
In Reflecting Subjects, Jacqueline Taylor gives a fresh and
rigorous development of the connection between Humeas theory of the
passions and his moral philosophy, cast in the form of Humean
social theory. It is an important and helpful book for anyone
working on these topics in several respects. * Nathan Sasser,
Journal of Scottish Philosophy *
Taylor's book displays a refreshingly concrete awareness of the
ways in which concepts traditionally investigated by philosophers
are socially realizeda In providing a wealth of pertinent detail,
her book makes valuable contributions to a more three-dimensional
understanding of Hume, especially in the later chapters *
