Moral and Political Philosophy by David Hume is a comprehensive treatise on ethics and political theory. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on moral philosophy and the second part on political philosophy. In the first part, Hume explores the nature of morality, arguing that moral judgments are based on sentiment rather than reason. He discusses the role of reason in moral decision-making, the nature of moral virtues and vices, and the relationship between morality and self-interest. Hume also explores the concept of free will and determinism, arguing that human beings are not completely free to choose their actions.In the second part of the book, Hume turns his attention to political philosophy. He discusses the nature of government, the role of the state in society, and the relationship between individuals and the state. Hume argues that the legitimacy of government is based on the consent of the governed, and that the primary purpose of government is to protect the rights and interests of its citizens. He also explores the concept of justice, arguing that it is based on the principles of equality and impartiality.Overall, Moral and Political Philosophy is a seminal work in the field of ethics and political theory, and continues to be widely studied and debated today. Hume's insights into the nature of morality and government have had a profound impact on the development of modern philosophy and political thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
