Virtue by consensus: the moral philosophy of Hutcheson, Hume, and Adam Smith
New York: Oxford University Press (1989)
Abstract
Some of the most important achievements in the field of empiricist ethics were made by the School of Moral Sentiment, comprising Francis Hutcheson, David Hume, and Adam Smith. This book throws new light on their consensus theory of virtue. Hope works some of their ideas into a merit theory of rights applicable to conventional rights, defends ethical cognitivism, and analyzes pleasure.Links
