| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research is intended to reconsider David Hume’s idea of convention, and to rethink a prevalent interpretation of this idea as ‘self-restraint of self-interest'. Its achievements are twofold. One is an alternative and hypothetical interpretation which illustrates the essence of a convention as united interests gathered via sympathy among those concerned with that convention. The other is a more historical reading of sympathy and convention based on Hume’s History of England, which considers both of them as ambivalent social natures of human beings. Though this latter reading is rather different from the expected achievement of this research, it sprang from the originally planed research.
