The Hume paradox: how great philosophy leads to dismal politics
I think this is largely embarrassing. The author pesters us  with an imputation on Hume as an analytically bankrupt political thinker but fails to deliver any concrete proof.<p>Then the author assumes (while incorrectly interpreting Hume) that their own politics are correct and any divergence proves that Hume is a failed political thinker.<p>We don’t find Hume’s criticism of Mandeville instead we find an interpretation of modern conservatism as an obviously evil caricature which can only be developed by the inability to understand a viewpoint which doesn’t immediately affirms one’s preconceived beliefs.
