The essays in this panel show that Hume’s “dark” passions are not peripheral anomalies but structural components of his philosophical psychology. By mapping their explanatory, instrumental, and interpretive roles, they reveal how these unsettling emotions illuminate crucial dimensions of Hume’s theory of mind and morals, thereby opening new and sharper perspectives on their place within his broader philosophical project.

Abstract

The essays in this panel show that Hume’s “dark” passions are not peripheral anomalies but structural components of his philosophical psychology. By mapping their explanatory, instrumental, and interpretive roles, they reveal how these unsettling emotions illuminate crucial dimensions of Hume’s theory of mind and morals, thereby opening new and sharper perspectives on their place within his broader philosophical project.
