the principles from which we determine moral good or evil‚ virtue or vice‚ Hume argues that because the number of situations we may encounter is ’infinite’ it would be absurd to imagine an ’original instinct’ or individual principle for each possibility.

Hume suggests looking for those general principles in nature but cautions on the
