| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study attempted to map political and literary discourses in eighteenth-century Britain in terms of their relation to David Hume’s philosophy. Firstly, the focus is laid on his sentimentalist position that regard “feeling” or “passion” as the most important motivating force of human actions as an integral part of his thought. I clarified that his sentimentalism functions as an ideological principle that supported civil society and market economy formed in eighteenth-century Britain. Further, I considered the process of the formation of “domestic novel” that is closely connected with the ideal of civil society. Lastly, I elucidated the formation of political conservatism of Edmund Burke in term of aesthetic ideology.
