 Hume and Kant both treat the concepts of virtue and vice as central to human morality. But they differ on the basic nature of virtue, and they offer different catalogues of the virtues and vices. Kant’s discussions reflect his consistent emphasis on freedom, dignity, rationality, and purity of motive. Hume’s reflect his emphasis on utility, pleasure, and the inherently social nature of the mind. Correspondingly, the notion of internal struggle is central to Kant’s account, while Hume portrays virtue in comparatively relaxed and genial terms. Relatedly, Hume is far more comfortable with the bourgeois virtues integral to successful participation in modern commercial and political society (cf. EPM 9.1.2). By contrast, Kant is warier of society’s influence on the individual, more insistent on the need to resist the power of what Rousseau calls amour-propre.
