Ethics 83 (1):58-70 (1972)

Abstract

Wand argues in "hume's account of obligation" that hume's view of obligation precludes 'our recognizing, After deliberate reflection, That... A certain action is right, And our failure to carry it out makes us morally responsible for it.' huff argues that wand's failure to distinguish the motives which originate the conventions of society from the motives which sustain such conventions leads to an inadequate account of hume's view of moral obligation and responsible action
