In Hume's moral theory, 'there is so much emphasis on the impotence of reason that one might probably think that, for Hume, reason has nothing to do with action and morality. Moreover, it is easy to lead us to the conclusion that passion is the only element in determining action, and moral sense or sentiment is the only element in distinguishing virtue from vice. According to this understanding, Hume's dichotomy of reason and passion, or of reason and sentiment, is clear and distinct as well as his dichotomy of idea and impression. On the one side, reason is inert and impotent as well as idea; on the other side, passion and sentiment are full of activity and vivacity as well as impression. |
