Is Human Nature Evil? | David Hume “Of the Dignity or Meanness of Human Nature”

David Hume’s essay entitled “Of the Dignity or Meanness of Human Nature” offers some considerations on human nature rather than offering a full blown manifesto on the matter. These considerations focus on the debate between a positive view of human nature versus a negative view. Ultimately, Hume mainly aims his critiques at the negative view of human nature. He starts by acknowledging a pragmatic possibility that a person with a positive view of human nature would want to adhere to that view by acting virtuously. Next, he notices how much of the debate relies on methods of comparison. Hume, however, doesn’t like many of these comparisons but does prefer to compare good motives within people against negative motives. This leads to a discussion on self-love and how self-love inspiring virtuous acts is not a bad thing. #philosophy #humannature #hume Instagram: philosophytoonsyt kofi: https://ko-fi.com/philosophytoons Business Email: [email protected] Music by Lukembro
