Abstract

This article inquires Hume’s perceptions about the political and political-economic events of his time. Anchored on J. G. A. Pocock’s analysis, it explores the ways Hume’s political thought could have been affected by the so-called “British eighteenth-century republicanism”, given the context of outspread disquiet with an unprecedented encroachment of economic power into politics. Despite the many contributions that social history and the history of political thought have already made on both the period and the subject, the interpretation of Hume’s perspective still offers some puzzlement, which the article aims to address.
