Abstract
- The article explores the political theory of Scottish philosopher David Hume. G. A. Cohen, Chichele Chair of Social and Political Theory, examines whether the possibility of changes to the society's institutional structure should be considered when talking about a just society. Cohen addressed the questions on justice and social states of affair in a paper entitled "How to Do Political Philosophy?" Particular focus is given to Hume's two-fold choice between an emphasis on virtue and an emphasis on institutions. Isaiah Berlin, another Chichele predecessor, examines the tasks of political philosophy. Berlin claims that social situations includes political organization and the relations of the individual to the community.
