Freedom and Moral Sentiment: Hume's Way of Naturalizing Responsibility Paperback - 2002

by Paul Russell


From the publisher

In this book, Russell examines Hume's notion of free will and moral responsibility. It is widely held that Hume presents us with a classic statement of the "compatibilist" position--that freedom and responsibility can be reconciled with causation and, indeed, actually require it. Russell argues that this is a distortion of Hume's view, because it overlooks the crucial role of moral sentiment in Hume's picture of human nature. Hume was concerned to describe the regular mechanisms which generate moral sentiments such as responsibility, and Russell argues that his conception of free will must be interpreted within this naturalistic framework. He goes on to discuss Hume's views about the nature and character of moral sentiment; the extent to which we have control over our moral character; and the justification of punishment. Throughout, Russell argues that the naturalistic avenue of interpretation of Hume's thought, far from draining it of its contemporary interest and significance,
reveals it to be of great relevance to the ongoing contemporary debate.

First line

Hume's discussion of the problem of "liberty and necessity" was first presented in the Treatise (II, iii, 1-2) and, then, in a slightly amended form, in the first Enquiry (Sec. 8).

Paperback / softback. New. Observing that studies of Hume's general strategy have tended to overlook his naturalistic concerns on the classic "compatibilist" position in the free will debate, Russell scrutinized his work to demonstrate the importance of these concerns, their continuing relevance to Human thought and his contribution to ongoing issues in contemporary ethics.
