Summary
'An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals' is a philosophical treatise written by the Scottish philosopher David Hume. The work was first published in 1751 and is one of Hume's most important works, along with 'A Treatise of Human Nature' and 'Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion'.
In 'An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals', Hume explores the nature and foundation of morality. He argues that moral judgments are not based on reason, but on sentiment, or a natural feeling of approval or disapproval that we have towards certain actions or behaviors. He maintains that moral distinctions are not objective features of the world, but rather the products of human psychology.
Hume also argues that morality is not derived from religion or any other external source, but rather is grounded in human nature and the natural sentiments that we have towards others. He emphasizes the importance of sympathy, or the ability to feel and understand the emotions of others, in the development of moral sentiments.
Overall, 'An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals' is a significant contribution to the field of moral philosophy and continues to be widely studied and debated by scholars today.
