This 5 page report
discusses the attitudes of David Hume (1711-1776) regarding
justice and why justice is an artificial virtue. The foundation
of Hume’s thinking on morality is the concept of sympathy, which
he views as the basis of interaction between people and the
wellspring of human happiness. He then defines morality as the
qualities that are approved in whomever they happen to appear and
by virtually everybody else. As a result of such thinking, he
sets out to discover the broadest possible grounds for those
approvals. He finds those grounds of approval in “feelings”
rather than “knowing” and determines that moral decisions are
established as a result of moral sentiment. It is here that the
concept of utility arises. Hume asserts that qualities are
valued either for their agreeableness, either to the owner of the
quality or to the person or persons affected by the quality.
