This chapter questions whether Hume thought that the minds of women were fundamentally different from those of men. We address this question with particular consideration of whether Hume’s account of women and gender roles is indicative of a gender essentialism or a gender constructivism.

Heidegger’s truth is incongruous with dogmatic notions of religion ascribing to pre-decided realities and ways of being in the world. However, Heidegger’s theories are not incongruous with spirituality; a phenomenological investigation of truth as disclosure reveals the process of truth-seeking and making to be a rescued form of spirituality. A Heideggarian understanding of truth rescues the truth-seeker from religious dogmatism by disclosing potentialities for being and therefore constitutes a spiritual, if not religious, revival.
