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: 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. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
