ABSTRACT

In this paper I trace analytically the process of the occurrence of the passions which is accompanied by the evaluation of various constitutional interpreters from the perspective of relationalism. Hume explains the occurrence of indirect passions as the double relation between ideas and impressions which is the principle of the passions. However, explaining the occurrence of the passions through the double relation between ideas and impressions is not very kind. A simple principle is required to explain the complexities of the occurrence of the passions from a different perspective. I call that explanation principle a double supervenience relation that expresses the double relation between the tendency of human nature and self-mediated ideas and impressions and their mutual coordination and co-operation. Hume identifies the accompanying attributes of this relation with usefulness and empathy. Therefore, it is hoped that Hume will be able to explain the construction of the theory developed in the orthodoxy more systematically from the perspective of dual water conservatism or relativism. These attempts will eventually contribute to solving the problems of various interpretations and evaluations of Hume's ethical theory. Hume identifies this supervenience relation with utility and sympathy. I hope that the theory of passion of Hume can be explained more systematically from the perspective of the double supervenience relationalism. These attempts will eventually contribute to solving the problems with various interpretations and evaluations of Hume's ethical theory.
