What is the most distinctive feature of human nature? Does human
nature play any significant role in explaining ethical objectivity?
How do we arrive at moral judgments? What is the relationship
between moral judgments and moral motivation? In answering these
questions, this book defends a naturalist, realist and internalist
theory of the foundations of ethics. This theory, grounded on a
particular concept of humanity, combines insights from Mencius and
David Hume. The views of each show how important features left
underdeveloped by the other can be supplemented and refined. The
unified theory that results is a robust contender among current
ethical theories. This illuminating book, relating Chinese and
Western philosophical traditions, presents a unique account of the
unity of the virtues in Mencius, breaks new ground in Hume studies
through its discussion of the concept of sympathy in Hume's theory,
and brings combined insights to bear on contemporary analytical
theories of ethics.
