David Hume’s Ideas Regarding Art and Good Taste
[ send me this paper ]
This 11 page report discusses Scottish philosopher and writer David Hume (1711-1776) who stated that art is not “a form of understanding or morality” and that art “does not fall under the concepts of necessity or freedom.” This report looks at such statements in the context of Hume’s skepticism and addresses how such ideas fit in with Hume’s larger views on utilitarianism. The writer of the report does agree with Hume’s assertion that art should be done for it's own sake, independent of objective law and morality. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

David Hume: Radical Empiricist's Principle
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. David Hume asserts the radical empiricists principle: "All our ideas come from impressions." The manner by which one could determine the implications this principle has upon the remainder of Hume's philosophy is to digest the philosopher's theories as a whole, rather than compartmentalizing them into individual sectors. Indeed, some may argue that Hume is not consistent in his application of this treatment; however, when one looks more closely at the fundamental basis of Hume's collective thoughts, it becomes significantly easier to see that his consistency is not worthy of questioning.

Democracy and Society Size
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper assessing the question, "Is a democracy more likely to flourish as a large or as a small republic?" Using the views of James Madison and John Stuart Mill, the paper concludes that the concept of "the greater good" is applicable to societies of any size, but it appears to be more workable and practical in the smaller society. Likely this is the very reason that Madison promoted states' rights with such vigor, and it may explain at least in part the difficulty that the federal government has in operating efficiently and in true reflection of the wishes of the people of the country.
