Description
David Hume's Morality: Feeling and Fabrication by Rachel Cohon explores two key areas of his moral philosophy. Firstly, Cohon reinterprets Hume's metaethics, challenging common assumptions about the nature of moral distinctions. She argues that Hume's views on morality are more nuanced than previously thought. Cohon also examines the artificial virtues, which Hume identifies as being constructed by social convention to facilitate cooperation. However, these traits can create paradoxes and challenge our intuitive understanding of what it means to be virtuous. This book offers a fresh perspective on Hume's moral philosophy, shedding new light on his ideas about morality, ethics, and human nature. By examining both the metaethical and artificial virtues, Cohon provides a comprehensive understanding of Hume's moral philosophy, revealing its complexities and subtleties.
