An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals

Synopsis

'A splendid edition. Schneewind's illuminating introduction succinctly situates 'The Enquiry' in its historical context, clarifying its relationship to Calvinism, to Newtonian science, and to earlier moral philosophers, and providing a persuasive account of Hume's ethical naturalism' - Martha C Nussbaum, Brown University.
