	Norman Kemp Smith
		Here Kemp Smith developed the naturalist interpretation of Hume that was first outlined in his Mind articles, and that has since provided much of the inspiration for the sceptical realist interpretation developed by philosophers such as John Wright, Galen Strawson, Edward Craig and Peter Kail.
		In 1938 Kemp Smith moved into a modern house (14 Kilgraston Road) that was designed for him by Robert Matthew who went on to design the Royal Festival Hall, and many of the Edinburgh University buildings in George Square, including the David Hume Tower.
		It now hangs in the Kemp Smith Room, the Edinburgh philosophy department's seminar room and common room, in the tower that was designed by the man who designed his house, and that bears the name of the man on whom he did so much of his work.

	Was Skeptical Philosopher David Hume an Atheist? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Kemp Smith bases his view on the conclusions to the "Natural History" and Dialogues, and Hume's 1743 letter to William Mure.
		Kemp Smith, however, put Philo's admission-along with Hume's own ritual profession of faith-down to Hume's regard for the conventions of his time (there is evidence for this in Hume's correspondence).
		Kemp Smith has often restated his interpretation which has remained influential, with many scholars following his lead but adding their own variations.

		Norman Kemp Smith's translation is immensely valuable, not simply because he rendered Kant's language into readable English, but also because his own extensive understanding of the Critique made him acutely aware of the pitfalls of translation.
		For this reissue of Norman Kemp Smith's classic 1929 edition, Howard Caygill has contributed a new Preface, setting this translation into the context both of Kemp Smith's own life and work, and of his influence on Kant scholarship.
		NORMAN KEMP SMITH was born in Dundee in 1872 and died in Edinburgh in 1958.

		Norman Kemp Smith version from http://www.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Philosophy/Kant/cpr, with text of Kant's second edition extracted.
		The four files reproduced here, cover all of Kant's introduction which succinctly explains his basic approach, plus another excerpt from early on in the work, an important section where he explains his reaction to Hume and the section on 'Antimonies of Reason' which is important when it comes to Hegel.
		And since the conditions under which alone the objects of human knowledge are given must precede those under which they are thought, the transcendental doctrine of sensibility will constitute the first part of the science of the elements.

	A Commentary to Kant's Critique of Pure Reason by Norman Kemp Smith and Sebastian Gardner : Booksamillion.com ...
		Of all the major philosophical works, Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason" is one of the most rewarding, yet one of the most difficult.
		Norman Kemp Smith's "Commentary" elucidates not only textural questions and minor issues, but also the central problems which arise, he contends, from the conflicting tendencies of Kant's own thinking.
		Kemp Smith's "Commentary" continues to be in demand with Kant scholars, and it is being reissued here with a new introduction by Sebastian Gardner to set it in its contemporary context.

		Thus, Kemp Smith, who first suggested this division, defines primary R-impressions as "sheerly instinctive passions, arising from a natural impulse or instinct not founded on precedent perceptions of pleasure and pain." Secondary R-impressions, by contrast, require a prior pleasure or pain and are not foundational.
		Kemp Smith's interpretation fails, though, since it runs counter to passages which imply that generally violent R-impressions may be indirect, as well as direct.
		Kemp Smith, as seen above, gives no subdivisions of the indirect passions which might include generally violent ones.

		Norman Kemp Smith (1872-1958) lectured at Princeton and was Professor of Logic and Metaphysics at the University of Edinburgh.
		First, Kemp Smith is one of the most notable translators of Kant's first Critique.
		He tends to think that the Critique is a haphazard collection of notes written by Kant during various periods of his philosophical development which were cobbled together only as late as two decades after being written.

	Supernatural Speech and Biological Books
		Kemp Smith claims that Hume has Cleanthes propose the superhuman voice "example" principally to show Cleanthes evading his obligation to give a cogent response to the criticisms of the design argument put forth by Philo in Part II.
		Wadia agrees with Kemp Smith's assessment of the superhuman voice illustration as "a legitimate inference by analogy." What he adds beyond anything said by Kemp Smith or Pike is the claim that such events would be miraculous, although they are logically possible.
		Because he fails to attend to the distinction between proximate and first cause, Kemp Smith's criticism—that Cleanthes commits a category mistake in calling something propagated a 'book'—goes somewhat astray.

	Immanuel Kant
		Here the difference between Kant's use of the German term and the Latin is, shall we say, lost in translation -- an entirely unnecessary loss, since the Latin term could have been used in English just as in German.
		By translating both the German term and the Latin one as "principle," Kemp Smith obscures the difference between a principle, in the modern sense, and a first principle.
		This may reveal that Kemp Smith actually isn't very sensitive or interested in either first principles or the Problem of First Principles.

	Ephilosopher :: Continental Philosophy :: Synthesis of Recognition in a Concept (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		I am having trouble getting down what is being said in Kant's A-Deduction (Norman Kemp Smith translation of the CPR) at the last of the threefold synthesis, Synthesis of Recognition in a Concept.
		The reason why you might not find the section is that many translators might not include the A-Deduction, which is from the first printing of the CPR.
		This is specifically why I am using the Norman Kemp Smith because he includes items from the first and second one in one volume, hence the paginations both include A and B respectively.

	Scepticism - Lecture 9a
		In Kemp Smith's opinion, then, Hume `takes up his position, outside and above the controversy between the dogmatists and the sceptics', and this `enables him to find both merits and defects in each of the two antagonists' (p.447).
		Now it might be hoped that the considerable attention devoted to the interpretation of Hume's philosophical writings since the publication of Kemp Smith’s book would have succeeded in generating a level of understanding of Hume's views that is superior to the one that generally prevailed amongst Hume's contemporaries.
		However I take the view that the interpretative tradition that has developed from the initial impetus provided by Kemp Smith has actually had the unfortunate effect of obscuring the true nature of Hume's relationship towards radical scepticism.

	20th WCP: "Author! Author! Some Reflections on Design in and beyond Hume's Dialogues"
		Even if we didn't have a fairly clear causal trail from his pen to posthumous publication in 1779 by his namesake nephew, it would still be evident that Hume is the author of this text, since it is so overwhelmingly in his style and manner—too much "like him," one might say.
		He worked on the manuscript for some 25 years, with an initial draft (at least through Part 3) completed by 1751, a revision ten years later, and further extensive revisions in 1776, the year of his death.
		Most interpreters follow Norman Kemp Smith in holding that Philo is the winner, in quality as well as quantity of argument, and that therefore he is Hume's "mouthpiece."

	David Hume (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Generally regarded as the most important philosopher ever to write in English, David Hume (1711-1776) -- the last of the great triumvirate of "British empiricists" -- was also noted as an historian and essayist.
		While Hume's influence is evident in the moral philosophy and economic writings of his close friend Adam Smith, he also awakened Immanuel Kant from his "dogmatic slumbers" and "caused the scales to fall" from Jeremy Bentham's eyes.
		Although other candidates, especially Adam Smith, have occasionally been proposed as the Abstract's author, scholars now agree that it is Hume's work.

	Kant's Refutation of the Ontological Argument
		NOTE: Edward Wierenga's "Philosophy of Religion in the Twentieth Century" summarily updates the original ontological argument in more recent philosophical debate.
		A period of intense activity in philosophy of religion was inaugurated in 1960 when the Philosophical Review published an article by Norman Malcolm in which Malcolm claimed to have found a sound version of Anselm's Ontological Argument for God's existence.
		Anselm (1033-1109) had held that God, understood as the being than which nothing greater can be conceived, must exist; for the assumption that God does not exist leads to the absurdity that it is conceivable that there is something which is greater than the being than which nothing greater can be conceived.
