Introduction to Hume's Moral Philosophy

Показать описание

An introduction to Hume’s moral philosophy outlined in volume three of the Treatise of Human Nature and the Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals. Hume was a sentimentalist, naturalist, and empiricist when it came to ethics. He explores how our feelings shape our moral approbations. He was also one of the first utilitarians, and, as Gilles Deleuze has argued, much more radically subjectivist than he usually been interpreted as being.

Part one on Hume and his theory of mind can be found here:

Wow, Hume has described the conclusion I feel I’ve come to naturally over the years. it’s powerful to hear it described this concisely

Is-Ought? Putnam suggests (while reading this passage), that he (Hume) has never seen an Ought being deduced from another Ought, and that he doesn't have this fact-value distinction as we have it today.

This is great! Since you have a script written out, is there any chance could you edit the captions so that this is accesible to people who are hard of hearing?

I agree with Hume on how people seem to 'work' in this respect - so descriptively. I find it very alluring too. I just don't see how you can make it normative/prescriptive. It's more like moral sociology and psychology.
Any other moral antirealists here or am I the only one yet again?
What about the moral realists, especially the Humean ones, can you help me see it your way?
