- W2006334557 abstract "In Part 3 of Projection and Realism, P. J. E. Kail offers an original and thought-provoking analysis of Hume’s views on morality. Kail seeks to make sense of Hume’s talk of projection and realism. Kail’s stated aim is to help us understand Hume’s own views, rather than some new Humean view. Part 3 is thus a contribution to the literature on Hume’s meta-ethics. Kail’s particular approach presents two challenges to the student of Hume’s works. First, Kail gives us a set of terms that are not Hume’s; this includes a distinction between explanatory projection and feature projection; a distinction between two forms of realism, metaphysical hedonism and the identification of moral value with natural properties of character traits; and a distinction between what Kail terms relational value and essential value. The first challenge is thus to ascertain how well this terminology maps onto the substance of Hume’s arguments. The task of meeting the first challenge is made difficult by the strategy Kail employs to build a cumulative case for his mitigated, naturalistic realism. Kail first draws on what is now well known in the literature as the Comparison, that is, the argument that beauty and virtue are like sensible perceptions such as color, and exist only as perceptions in the mind, to show that at the pre-theoretical level, we make an error in attributing essential value to those things we take to be virtuous or beautiful. He then draws a parallel between the early modern understanding of the functional nature of bodily pains and pleasures and a similar functional nature of the moral sentiments. This parallel, if successfully drawn, militates against the characterization of Hume’s moral theory as an error theory and shows how we can make sense of our experience of the essential value" @default.
