The virtue of justice morality: Two interpretations of honesty in Hume

Universitas Philosophica 25 (51) (2008)

Abstract

Hume's problematic motivation of the virtue of justice is interpreted at least in three different ways: as an interested willingness, as a useful but self-indulgent willingness, finally, as a moral, deliberate and pleasant willingness where concern for the good of others or the society is intentionally expressed. This essay holds the last one of these readings and aims to reveal how it better fits the common sense view of any virtue.
