Freedom and Moral Sentiment: Hume’s Way of Naturalizing Responsibility

Russell examines Hume’s notion of free will and moral responsibility arguing that the naturalistic avenue of interpretation of Hume’s thought reveals it to be of great relevance to the ongoing contemporary debate. Russell’s book makes an important contribution to the literature on Hume’s moral philosophy, especially in showing a breadth to his view that is sometimes obscured by too heavy a focus on his subjectivism. –The Philosophical Review
