I'm shocked that there is almost nothing on Wikipedia about Hume's Enquiry. TimD 23:06, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Some things that are still needed:
I am working on this Wikipedia page as part of a class project. I will substantiate and add on the sections you reference here. Sumervaid ( talk) 19:51, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
in the principles of morals Hume also talks about the circumstances of his consequentialist view of justice... Perhaps this article might be better served with some discussion on that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Castdowntheheretic ( talk • contribs) 01:00, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
We need a summary of the different portions of Hume's book and the argument he makes in each. A general article on a book should help readers navigate through the book. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.44.160.123 ( talk) 05:59, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
"The first-order moral theory that emerges from the second Enquiry is a form of virtue ethics."
At best this is a very controversial interpretation of the text. The two major camps are divided between those who see the view Hume defends as a secondary quality/response dependent theory of ethics, and those take a more semantic approach and see Hume as an expressivist. This article really needs to a more detailed analysis of the text itself, before it jumps down some 'offbeat' exegetical line. As it is now this entire article is very misleading.
I will be working on this page as part of a class project, so I will attempt to create a new section that reports the mainstream analysis of this text. Sumervaid ( talk) 19:51, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
