Hume's Moral Theory by Jl Mackie

'There are a number of fine books on Hume's moral theory, but Mackie's stands as one of the very bestMackie manages to combine wonderfully an engaged and sympathetic reading of Hume with a sophisticated appreciation of the difficulties facing any Humean account of morality.' - Geoffrey Sayre-McCord, University of North Carolina.


J. L. Mackie was a fellow at University College, Oxford. He is the author of The Cement of the Universe and Problems from Locke.
