Description

Based upon a study of arguments in the Treatise and the Enquiry, this work proposes a theory of motivation and of the making of moral judgments which is Humean in two important ways: it defends (1) Hume’s anti-rationalist claim that reason alone cannot either motivate action or lead to the making of moral judgment, and (2) Hume’s ‘sentimentalist’ claim that feeling is always essentially involved in both.
