David Hume and the Rules of Justice
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses the attitudes of David Hume (1711-1776) regarding justice and why justice is an artificial virtue. The foundation of Hume’s thinking on morality is the concept of sympathy, which he views as the basis of interaction between people and the wellspring of human happiness. He then defines morality as the qualities that are approved in whomever they happen to appear and by virtually everybody else. As a result of such thinking, he sets out to discover the broadest possible grounds for those approvals. He finds those grounds of approval in “feelings” rather than “knowing” and determines that moral decisions are established as a result of moral sentiment. It is here that the concept of utility arises. Hume asserts that qualities are valued either for their agreeableness, either to the owner of the quality or to the person or persons affected by the quality. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

David Hume’s “Obligation of Promises”
[ send me this paper ]
This 8 page report discusses Scottish philosopher and writer David Hume’s (1711-1776) thinking on the “obligation of promises” as expressed in his “Treatise of Human Nature.” Hume believed that participation in a just society requires an individual’s obligation to the promise to support that government. It is not based on fear but what Hume referred to as “enlightened self-interest.” Hume was certain that freedom and exchange in the marketplace depend on obligation to promises. As a result, compliance to government is also required in order to keep one’s promises. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
