This paper attempts to show the manifestations of this attitude in Pope' s satires on human characters and in the characterisation of a false philosopher and philosophy by Hume. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Anachronist is the property of Anachronist and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
