Hume’s law, experience, common life, basic goods, subjectivismAbstract
The philosophy of D. Hume has been commonly related to positivism and moral subjectivism. Though his explicit influence is undeniable in these schools of thought, it does not prevent the effective existence of relations of harmony between theories traditionally opposed to the humean philosophy. In this work I will present the convergences between the philosophy of Hume and the natural law ethics, particularly the developed by the New Natural Law Theory. I will argue the link from the following points: (a) the relevance of the common life, (b) the experience and (c) the role of philosophy in the human behavior.
