In today's world, this work by Hume - which, why not, also has political implications - is timely. Our world must be based on sympathy from one end of the earth to the other. Our world must radiate pleasure through the beautiful communication of people with each other and with a well-governed society.

The relationship between man and the state is a moral one, and this opening of morality that the British philosopher achieves is a great accomplishment. The state that convinces the citizen is moral, the citizen who offers to the state is moral. The citizen who finds pleasure through his sympathy for the other is moral, and the other who returns all these gestures is moral.

Ultimately, morality is the experience of the beautiful and the pleasant. This empiricism of the British philosopher may constitute a remedy for the negative experiences that our world emits. It may create a new model of man and state that will guarantee a better path for humanity.
