David Hume - Naturalistic Metaethics, Politics, and Psychology

David Hume - Response to early criticism of naturalistic meta ethics, political science and psychology David Hume. Based on Houston's "Last Conference" at the bar at Princes Street in Edinburgh, I suggest that Kant and Moore are loyal to the intuitive and cautious basic concept of the traditional ethical ban did.

I called this interpretation of Hume's compatibility strategy "naturalism". In what sense is Hume's claim "naturalistic"? I think there are two very different "naturalistic" feelings that can be applied appropriately to the discussion of Hume on freedom and necessity. The first and most important meaning is that it involves applying the experimental reasoning method to this "controversial problem". As we have seen, Hume is interested in explaining the circumstances in which people are responsible (ie explaining the "traditional mechanisms" that create moral sentiments). Thus, Hume's compatibility strategy must be understood in the general context of his efforts to introduce "a method of experimental reasoning for moral subjects".

In this article we will focus on two alternative interpretations of Hume's compatibility strategy, the "classical" interpretation and the "naturalistic" interpretation, for a basic comparison. According to the classics, efforts to express the relationship between Hume's moral responsibility requirements and free will will be understood primarily from his view on the conceptual logic of "freedom" and "necessity" You should. . It is said that free and responsible behavior must be triggered by the agent. Therefore, there is no incompatibility between free will and determinism. On the contrary, free and responsible behavior (logically) requires a causal relationship. As so described, Hume's discussion involves (a priori) observations about the logical relationship between the important concepts involved in this controversy. In other words, one of the main goals of Hume is to explain what people are responsible for.
