Introduction to Hume's Moral Philosophy

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.
