Hume's Moral Philosophy (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) (0 words)
Hume argues against the rationalists that although reason is needed to discover the facts of any concrete situation and the general social impact of a trait of character or a practice over time, reason alone is insufficient to yield a judgment that something is virtuous or vicious.
Hume construes necessity to mean the same as causal connection (or rather, intelligible causal connection), as he himself analyzes this notion in his own theory of causation: either the “constant union and conjunction of like objects,” or that together with “the inference of the mind from the one to the other” (ibid.).
Hume allows that, speaking imprecisely, we often say a passion is unreasonable because it arises in response to a mistaken judgment or opinion, either that something (a source of pleasure or uneasiness) exists, or that it may be obtained or avoided by a certain means.
David Hume -- Moral Theory [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] (0 words)
Hume's moral theory is of lasting importance in the history of moral philosophy both for its originality and for its influence on later moral theories.
Hume presents several arguments against Clarke's view, the most famous of which is an argument from arboreal parricide: a young tree that overgrows and kills its parent exhibits the same alleged relations as a human child killing his parent; if morality is a question of relations, then the young tree is immoral, which is absurd.
Hume implies that purely natural virtues are those that (a) are not artificially instilled in the agent, and (b) are naturally approved of by the spectator.
