| dc.description.abstract (摘要) | There is a trend that forms lately in the study of David Hume`s political thought, namely an increasing number of scholars now regard Hume`s theory of justice as founded on the idea of social contract. This view deviates from Hume`s conventional image which proposed significant criticism of social contract theory. To evaluate this interpretive perspective, this article focuses on David Gauthier`s ＂David Hume, Contractarian＂. Gauthier`s essay has two implications. First, Gauthier argues that whereas Hume`s theory of justice is founded on a principle of utility, utility for Hume does not reveal the general welfare of society as what utilitarianism defends, but mutual advantage compatible with a contractarian account of morality. Second, Gauthier emphasizes the conservative tendency of Hume`s political thought, and he rejects that there is a concern for distributive justice in it. This article argues that, unlike Gauthier`s view, Hume thinks that human nature may not be reduced to the psychology of selfishness. On the contrary, men`s natural sociability and sympathy are crucial to Hume`s theory of justice. Moreover, if Gauthier took Hume`s economic essays more seriously, he would have found Hume`s criticism of slavery and oppressions. On that account, it seems not fair to depict Hume as a conservative indifferent to social inequality. | |
