Prep for Hume

According to the syllabus, Hume is going to discuss the moral views of people and how those moral views reflect what we believe to be something objective. I think he must first lay out the moral views that are common to all people if he wants to explain how our lives are affected by them. This is going to be very difficult for Hume because I think that all people do not share the same moral views. After explaining what the moral views are, he needs to explain how these moral views also affect the lives of the people that hold those views. Finally, to finish his argument according to the syllabus, he must show us how we hold these views as objective rather than subjective.
