Abstract
In what follows, David Hume first appears as ‘Dave’, a PhD student supervised by ‘Prof’. Dave is excited about the progress he has made over the summer and Prof asks some searching questions. Forty years later, Hume, now an Emeritus Professor of Psychology (EPP), gives a piece of advice to a Promising Young Academic (PYA) from the United States.
