Artigo:

Indeed, the most of myths about Hume’s philosophy rest on the precarious term empiricist. J. P.Monteiro, impeaching this conception, had proposed deep revisions in interpretations of Hume’sphilosophy, such as the rebuttal of any Humean cognitive associationism. Gilles Deleuze, on the otherhand, had stated that causal inferences play a crucial role for the constitution of human nature in Hume’sthought. In line with Deleuze, but far from Monteiro’s interpretation, Gerard Lebrun depicted Hume as afree spirit and the most ingenuous sceptic. This text, which strictly handled with Portuguese and Frenchcommentators, is the first one of a series of texts that I intend to release in order to spread into English keycommentaries about Hume’s philosophy published in Romance languages. This paper, as well as someother onesthat are coming, aimed atshedding light on the manner as Hume’s philosophy was undertakenin Romance languages. In view of this, it was taken - as this text main base - the aforementioned Romancecommentators, as I named the group of Hume’s commentators who had written in Romance languages.
