An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals

"An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals" is a philosophical work by the Scottish philosopher David Hume, first published in 1751. In this influential treatise, Hume explores the foundations of moral philosophy, examining the nature of virtue, justice, and moral judgment. Building on his earlier work in "A Treatise of Human Nature," Hume argues that moral distinctions are based on sentiment rather than reason, and that moral judgments are ultimately rooted in human psychology and social conventions. He explores questions concerning the origins of moral principles, the role of sympathy and empathy in moral judgment, and the relationship between morality and self-interest. Through clear and insightful analysis, "An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals" offers readers profound insights into the nature of morality and its implications for human society.
