Abstract
In this paper, we argue for an objectivist pluralist interpretation of
Hume’s moral philosophy. We begin by approaching the pluralist/relativist distinction
in aesthetics. Then we move to ethics, and present some reasons which justify
considering Hume a normative pluralist, and, in particular, an objectivist pluralist.
Our argument will make use of Hume’s idea that there are foru sources of value, and of his notion of artificial lives/moralities.
