Rachel Cohon offers an original interpretation of the ethical thinking of the eighteenth-century philosopher David Hume. She focuses on two claims: that human beings figure out what is good or evil by using our feelings or emotions, and that some of the good traits we recognize are produced by informal social agreement and teaching.
