Keeping the Journal Alive
Keeping the Journal Alive David Fate Norton (bio) I have been asked to say a few words about the founding of the Journal of the History of Philosophy, to reflect on my editorship, and to comment on “how the Journal has developed and changed over the years.” I will have space to say very little about the last item, and so I have confined my essay to three sometimes overlapping parts: 1. The Founding of the Journal and its Early Years at the Univer…
The Cambridge Companion to Hume
Although best known for his contributions to the theory of knowledge, metaphysics, and philosophy of religion, Hume also influenced developments in the philosophy of mind, psychology, ethics, political and economic theory, political and social history, and aesthetic theory. The fifteen essays in this volume address all aspects of Hume's thought. The picture of him that emerges is that of a thinker who, though often critical to the point of scepti…

The Cambridge Companion to Hume
David Hume is, arguably, the most important philosopher ever to have written in English. Although best known for his contributions to epistemology, metaphysics, and the philosophy of religion, Hume also made substantial and influential contributions to psychology and the philosophy of mind, ethics, the philosophy of science, political and economic theory, political and social history, and, to a lesser extent, aesthetic and literary theory. All fa…

Thomas Reid on Adam Smith's Theory of Morals
1. Given respect which Thomas Reid evinced for Adam Smith and Theory of Moral Sentiments (TMS), and care which Reid's work generally shows, suggestion that Reid in his lectures revealed himself a careless expositor and critic of Smith is surprising.' Further, there is good evidence that Reid did not enter lightly upon treatment of Smith's theory. In a lined-out passage from his lecture notes for February 19, 1765, Reid complains cautiously (And h…

The myth of ‘British empiricism’
Thomas Reid on Adam Smith's Theory of Morals
Hume’s Common Sense Morality
Hume's moral theory, I shall here argue, is explicitly and in fundamental ways a common sense theory. It is widely accepted, of course, that Hume found moral distinctions to rest on sentiment, and that he found in the principle of sympathy the means by which individual sentiments come to be experienced by others. What has not received adequate attention is Hume's concern to refute moral skepticism and his explicit reliance on appeals to “common s…
George Turnbull and the Furniture of the Mind
Hutcheson's Moral Sense Theory Reconsidered
There is no more central feature of Francis Hutcheson's moral philosophy than his theory of the moral sense. In the past this sense or faculty was widely understood to be a distinctive and independent sense devoted to the apprehension of moral qualities, but William Frankena has in recent years challenged this traditional view of Hutcheson's theory, and offered in its place an emotivist interpretation. Without question Frankena's study was of the…
