Recent work at the intersection of moral philosophy and the
philosophy of psychology has dealt mostly with Aristotelian virtue
ethics. The dearth of scholarship that engages with Hume's moral
philosophy, however, is both noticeable and peculiar. Hume's Moral
Philosophy and Contemporary Psychology demonstrates how Hume's
moral philosophy comports with recent work from the empirical
sciences and moral psychology. It shows how contemporary work in
virtue ethics has much stronger similarities to the metaphysically
thin conception of human nature that Hume developed, rather than
the metaphysically thick conception of human nature that Aristotle
espoused. It also reveals how contemporary work in moral motivation
and moral epistemology has strong affinities with themes in Hume's
sympathetic sentimentalism.
