Freedom and Moral Sentiment : Hume's Way of Naturalizing Responsibility
Bok av Paul Russell
David Hume is generally credited with the classic "compatibilist" position in the free will debate. Paul Russell argues that the full range of Hume's views on this subject, although hugely influential, has not been adequately represented in standard Humean scholarship. Observing that studies of Hume's general strategy have tended to overlook his naturalistic concerns, Russell proposes that a more careful scrutiny of his work will demonstrate the importance of these
concerns, their continuing relevance to Humean thought, and his contribution to ongoing issues in contemporary ethics.
