\"\"LEXINGTON, Ky.\u2014Transylvania University philosophy professor Peter Fosl<\/a> has been named the first recipient of the David Hume Fellowship at the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities (IASH) at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland.

The fellowship was established as part of the university\u2019s year-long celebration of the tercentenary of the birth of David Hume (April 22, 1711). Applications were accepted from Hume scholars around the world.<\/p>\n

Hume, one of the most notable philosophers of the Scottish Enlightenment, lived and produced much of his work in Edinburgh, including one of the most significant books in the history of philosophy, \u201cA Treatise of Human Nature.\u201d <\/p>\n
