Description

Lomasky investigates the limitations of these modem re-thinkings of Hume in regard to 1) their exclusively forward-looking vision of practical reason (i.e. reason is only determined by that which we want and desire in the present for our future) and 2) the foundational assumption that desire is the sole basis of reason.
