Hume's Enquiry concerning the Principles of Morals is one of the
landmark works in the history of moral philosophy; this volume
presents a section-by-section study of the work in the form of new
interpretative essays by leading Hume scholars. The result is a
comprehensive reassessment of Hume's 'recasting' of his moral
philosophy in this work. Particular attention is given to the
Enlightenment concepts of justice and benevolence, as well as to
the concept of humanity and moral sentiment. Fifteen original
chapters take the reader through the nine sections and four
appendices of Hume's Enquiry, as well as 'A Dialogue,' to assess
critically the moral philosophy he presents. How does it differ
from the moral philosophy of the Treatise, and how should we
understand the significance of the arguments he advances?
Additional chapters examine the relation between Hume's mature
moral philosophy and related subjects such as his epistemology, his
writings on religion, beauty and criticism, the passions, and his
own intellectual and philosophical development during the period in
which he conceived and wrote the Enquiry.
