Title: Anik Waldow (Sydney)
Moral Reflection as Perception: A Humean Account

In this paper I argue that, within Hume’s framework, it makes sense to  
think of conflicts between differing sympathetic sentiments as naturally  
causing us to take up a moral perspective. The aim of developing this  
causal reading of how our moral capacities are produced is to show that  
capacities that require for their formation an engagement with history,  
society and culture can still be deemed natural because of the causal  
process that underlies their formation. To recognise this connection  
between the natural and the artificial is important, not simply because it  
puts us in a position to see that Hume’s concept of human nature paves the  
way for a dynamic conception of human development that stands in stark  
contrast to any form of biological essentialism. It also revels that, for  
him, the naturalisation of the human being ultimately revolves around the  
attempt of providing causal explanations that render intelligible that  
which seems to be unnatural about our lives as social, moral and reflective  
creatures.
