Reviews
Davide Panagia has offered a very important contribution to Hume scholarship that promises to show the relevance of Hume to a number of contemporary debates and discussions. * Theory & Event *
In a terse and vivid reading Panagia affiliates Hume's Treatise with the experience of cinema: evanescent, kaleidoscopic, flickering, forever unsettling. Resisting regulation or consensus, Hume's writings on sensation enable us to put an aesthetic of film in the service of a politics. A committed and sustained reflection on every page, Impressions offers a pragmatic and historically informed treatment of philosophy and cinema. -- Tom Conley, Department of Romance Languages, Harvard University
