Una aproximación histórico-filosófica al pensamiento de David Hume: sus ideas acerca de la justicia, la propiedad y lo judicial

Abstract

At present, there are several academic works and statements of researchers who intend to see in David Hume a philosopher of the right, based on his judgments of a judicial type that the Scottish author makes throughout his work. In this article, the author will analyze these judgments and arguments to conclude that these cannot be interpreted without considering the judicial-political context of the author, which would give rise to state that his legal thought would correspond to the model in which the Common Law of the XVIII century could be inscribed, which, in turn, would let state that Hume does not propose a substantial modification in the judicial aspect, and that his thoughts are a consequence of the institutional view, long time ago established in England.
