To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Treatise, Bk. Ill, part I, sec. 3. See also Wundt's Ethical Systems, p. 76, (1897).
64 The Individual and Society Hume in rejecting the Hobbist origin of morals and in re- pudiating the contention of both Hobbes and Mandeville, that man is not capable of unselfish acts or disinterested moral judg- ments, declares that such a view can be very easily disproved by a "crucial experiment" on the play of our moral sentiments; and as a further proof he points, like Hutcheson, to the fact that we frequ...ently bestow praise on virtuous acts performed in very distant ages and remote countries and even a brave deed per- formed by an adversary commands our approbation, though its consequences may be acknowledged prejudicial to our particular interest. 1 Hume looked upon the instinctive sympathy with which nature has endowed us, as a "principle in human nature beyond which we cannot hope to find any principle more general. " Sympathy in Hume's system takes the place of Hutcheson's "moral sense" and Butler's "conscience, " and is the one element in our nature by which we are led' to approve or disapprove moral acts.
