Perception and Ethics

Out of all of the philosophers we have studied as of yet, Hume was the first, as far as I can tell, to deal directly with the topic of my paper: perception and ethics. Chief among the key issues in my paper is the idea that people see the world, not as it is, but as they are. I was greatly pleased to be reading a philosopher's view on a relatively similar issue, although his conclusions are not exact with my own. Perhaps I misinterpreted, but to my understanding, Hume applies a very similar idea that the moral values of men, although seemingly unified on general issues, when actually broken down into their true intentions, differ in many ways. This is where my topic comes in, looking into the roots which grow these different conclusions, and what such an error in vision can catalyze. In any case, I have received a bit more food- for -thought for this paper.
