Synopsis "Humes Ethical Writings: Philosophy "

Writing in an age that exalted reason, the Scottish-born skeptic David Hume was the first modern philosopher to emphasize the role of psychology, or passion, in the formulation of moral judgments and ethical systems. Included in this edition of his writings is the entire text of An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals and selections from other works such as A Treatise on Human Nature and Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion. Alasdair MacIntyre clarifies the relationship of Hume s intellect to his Calvinist background and cogently summarizes his importance to the development of moral philosophy._,

Alasdair MacIntyre (Glasgow, Scotland, January 12, 1929) is a prestigious Scottish philosopher, widely known for his critical analyses of contemporary moral thought and his advocacy of Aristotelian ethics and community traditions. With a PhD in philosophy, MacIntyre gained prominence with the publication of After Virtue, a fundamental work that marked a before and after in moral philosophy, promoting the recovery of virtues in the ethical and social spheres. Throughout his career, he has been a professor at prominent universities in Europe and the United States, also contributing as the author of numerous works that address everything from Marxism and the Christian tradition to critiques of the Enlightenment. His thought, characterized by deep scholarship and an unusual ability to engage with various philosophical currents, positions him as an influential figure in contemporary philosophy.
