The
Role of Sympathy in David Hume’s “Why Utility Pleases”
[ Send
Me THIS Essay On Kant! ]
This 3 page report discusses 18th century Scottish
philosopher David Hume and his ideas relating to “why
utility pleases.” The foundation of David Hume’s
thinking and philosophy regarding morality is the concept of
sympathy, which (the modern reader must understand)
determines what serves as the basis of interaction between
people and the wellspring of human happiness. Utilitarianism
is the doctrine that what is useful is good, and
consequently, that the ethical value of conduct is
determined by the utility of its results. Bibliography lists

David Hume and the Rules of Justice
[ Send
Me THIS Essay On Kant! ]
This 5 page report discusses the attitudes of David Hume
(1711-1776) regarding justice and why justice is an
artificial virtue. The foundation of Hume’s thinking on
morality is the concept of sympathy, which he views as the
basis of interaction between people and the wellspring of
human happiness. He then defines morality as the qualities
that are approved in whomever they happen to appear and by
virtually everybody else. As a result of such thinking, he
sets out to discover the broadest possible grounds for those
approvals. He finds those grounds of approval in
“feelings” rather than “knowing” and determines that
moral decisions are established as a result of moral
sentiment. It is here that the concept of utility arises.
Hume asserts that qualities are valued either for their
agreeableness, either to the owner of the quality or to the
person or persons affected by the quality. Bibliography
lists 3 sources.
