David Hume's Virtue Ethics

According to Christine Swanton, David Hume should be read as a virtue ethicist. Each of us has a moral sense that dis/approves of objects or events in the world. And morality is based in this response-dependent sentimentalism. This lecture contrast Hume's virtue ethics to Aristotle's. And then it ends with Jonathan Bennett's "The Conscience of Huckleberry Finn," which raises the question of which mental faculty we should prioritize in morality. Ultimately, he decides that we need to have our entire psychologies work well so that we can be open to revising our moral practices.
