Io morale
Greco, Lorenzo
2011
Abstract
In this essay I move from the perspective of David Hume’s moral sentimentalism and examine the notion of moral self in the light of some relevant issues in contemporary philosophical ethics. I start by contrasting Hume’s moral sentimentalism with Kantian constructivism. I then consider Bernard Williams’s way of conceiving ethics as a form of genealogy, and argue that this hinges on a consideration of human beings as sentimentally defined individuals. I conclude by examining the place of the notion of moral self in normative ethics, making reference in particular to virtue ethics.
