Russell Hardin presents a new view of the moral and political theory of the great 18th-century philosopher David Hume. Hardin demonstrates Hume's strategic sense, his nascent utilitarianism, his powerful theory of convention as a main source of social and political order, and his recognition of moral and political theory as a single enterprise.
