Le souci des autres: Éthique et politique du care
Les perspectives féministes connaissent depuis une trentaine d'années un développement considérable dans le champ académique anglo-saxon. Si les analyses en termes de genre sont désormais connues du public français, l'idée de care - mot habituellement traduit par soin, attention, sollicitude - n'a pas trouvé un accueil aussi évident, sans doute en raison de sa dimension provocatrice. En réintégrant dans le champ des activités sociales significati…
Demoralization, Trust, and the Virtues
This chapter analyses good moral quality in finding the basis for a person's mental attitude on a particular occasion or succession of similar occasions. It discusses what makes an attitude to mutual vulnerability virtuous or morally welcome that it contributes to the climate of trust within which a person lives. According to David Hume's A Treatise of Human Nature, as long as people are not in a moral ‘state of nature,’ there will be normal cond…

Can Philosophers Be Patriots
Can Philosophers Be Patriots? Annette Baier (bio) Richard Rorty challenged the profession of philosophy to examine its own activities, to avoid false consciousness of what it is that we do. We are not, he claimed, scientists of the mind, nor discerners of eternal moral truths. Ours is not a view sub specie aeternitatis, but a view from a given culture at a given time. This challenge is salutary, and has been influential, but largely outside philo…
Hume, the Women’s Moral Theorist?
In his brief autobiography, David Hume tells us that ‘as I took particu lar pleasure in the company of modest women, I had no reason to be displeased with the reception I met with from them.’ This double edged remark is typical of Hume’s references to women. Suggesting as it does that what pleased Hume was the women’s pleasure in his pleasure in their company, it both diminishes the significance of their welcome to him, since ‘whoever can find th…

Moral Prejudices: Essays on Ethics.
David Hume's essay Of Moral Prejudices offers a spirited defence of the most endearing sentiments of the hearts, all the most useful biases and instincts, which can govern a human creature, against the onslaught of philosophers who would, in the pretext of reforming prejudices and errors, endeavour after perfection. Following Hume's example, Annette Baier delivers an appeal for our fundamental moral notions to be governed not by rules and codes, …
The Need for More than Justice [1987]
Gilligan in her book did tend to link the naturalness to women of the care perspective with their role as primary care-takers of young children, that is with their parental and specifically maternal role. For the moral tradition which developed the concept of rights, autonomy and justice is the same tradition that provided 'justifications' of the oppression of those whom the primary right-holders depended on to do the sort of work they themselves…
A Note on Justice, Care, and Immigration Policy
Should a “caring” immigration policy give special treatment to would-be immigrants who are near neighbors? It is argued that, while those on our borders requesting entry have some special claim, it should not drown out the claims of more distant applicants for citizenship

A Progress of Sentiments: Reflections on Hume's Treatise
Baier aims to make sense of Hume's Treatise as a whole. Hume’s family motto was “True to the End.” Baier argues that it is not until the end of the Treatise that we get his full story about “truth and falsehood, reason and folly.” By the end, we can see the cause to which Hume has been true throughout the work

What Emotions Are About
writes Samuel Johnson, and the term, as used by Hume (and its French near-equivalent, as used by Descartes), is indeed reserved for mental disturbances and passions. Our current usage of emotional preserves this older meaning. So should I change my title to what passions are about? The trouble with this proposal is that we today tend to think of passions as vehement emotions, so I might gain intelligibility with the ghosts of Descartes, Johnson a…

Hume on Resentment
133. HUME ON RESENTMENT In his Enquiry version of the conditions of justice, Hume adds a third modified Hobbesian condition to the two, moderate scarcity and moderate selfishness, which he had listed in the Treatise. The new condition is a certain measure of equality, or limit ±o inequality—justice is owed, he says, only if there is a society of more-or-less equals; and only to those who are members of it. The equality in question concerns the ab…

Philosophy and Ideology in Hume's Political Thought
This book was written with three aims in mind. The first was to provide a reasonably concise account of Hume's social and political thought that might help students coming to it for the first time. The second aim was to say something about the relationship between philosophy and politics, with explicit attention to Hume, but implicit reference to a general issue. The third is to offer an integrated account of Hume's thought. The book accounts for…

Civilizing Practices
Maclntyre’s contrast between contemporary individualist versions of morality, expressive of arbitrary selfwill, and some less willful or less arbitrary moral guidance, is queried. All social practices, both those Maclntyre disapproves of and those he prefers, are claimed to contain elements of arbitrariness, and some scope for the expression of some individual human wills. Maclntyre’s neglect of the question of what allocation of power a particul…
