Description

Reflecting Subjects: Passion, Sympathy, and Society in Hume's Philosophy provides an original reconstruction of David Hume's social theory. In this work, Jacqueline Taylor examines how passions and imagination relate to fundamental institutions like the economy and government. The book begins with a detailed study of Hume's experimental method. It explores the origins and effects of pride, an indirect passion that reflects an individual's sense of self-worth through qualities such as wealth or character. By explaining the origin of pride through efficient causes, the text moves away from traditional appeals to final causes, offering a fresh perspective on Humean philosophy and its connection to social structures.
