%0 Journal Article %T Simpatia e sociabilidade no pensamento de Hume %A Fern£¿o de Oliveira Salles %J DoisPontos %D 2010 %I Universidade Federal do Paran¨¢, Universidade Federal de S?o Carlos %X The purpose of this text is to show, in general terms, the main aspects of Hume¡¯s critic of those philosophers that he called by the epithet of ¡°modern epicureans¡±. Hobbes, and his supposed followers, according to Hume¡¯s point of view, made the mistake of choosing self love as the source and principle of all our actions and judgments. After that, we intend to outline the central role of the concept of sympathy in this critic and in the constitution of Hume¡¯s moral theory. %K Hume %K Hobbes %K Locke %K Self-love %K Simpathy %K Esteem %U http://ojs.c3sl.ufpr.br/ojs2/index.php/doispontos/article/view/24088/16116
