In the history of humanity, the subject matter of morality has been an unending discourse, which was spurred by the fact that man cannot but live and relate in a society. This paper tends to present the philosophical standpoint of David Hume when it comes to morality, especially his conception of feelings or sympathy as the basis for moral judgement. It goes ahead to expose some of the basic philosophical questions David Hume wanted to address. What was it that Hume really wanted to address, and how did he manage to address it? To be on track, this paper explores briefly some approaches, and some controversies concerning the foundation of morality, and in the process of exploring Hume’s standpoint, the paper states clearly the role Hume attributed to feelings and reason in his moral philosophy.
