ZAVADIVKER, Nicolás. Metaethical interpretations of hume's work. Cuad. Fac. Humanid. Cienc. Soc., Univ. Nac. Jujuy [online]. 2017, n.52, pp.27-35. ISSN 1668-8104.

One of the reasons why the name of Hume is currently quoted in ethical-philosophical contexts is his remarkable influence on the contemporary met ethics, through various points and arguments. However, his own vision of moral language and practical argumentation is subject of discussion. This work aims to figure out what was the metaethical position held by the Scottish philosopher. After exposing the more important interpretations on the issue (the subjectivist-individual, the emotivist and the naturalist-objectivist), and recalling the main passages of the humean work that support their respective readings, some limits to the emotivist interpretation of Hume will be shown and the position on moral language sustained by the Schottish philosopher will be defended
