Este trabajo examina algunos ensayos políticos de David Hume para sostener que su estrategia escéptica de moderación de las facciones políticas no consiste solamente en el examen de los argumentos, de estas sino también en el despliegue de maniobras retóricas distintivamente escépticas. Con ellas, logra exponer los intereses reales que originan las posiciones partidistas y disolver las doctrinas mediante las cuales las facciones atraen a sus seguidores. La estrategia constituye una forma de acción política comprometida que se apoya en su ciencia de la naturaleza humana.

This paper examines some of David Hume's political essays to argue that his skeptical strategy of moderating political factions consists not only in examining their arguments, but also in the display of distinctively skeptical rhetorical maneuvers. Thanks to these maneuvers, Hume manages to expose the real interests that originate partisan positions and dissolve the doctrines by which the factions attract their followers. Hume's strategy of political moderation constitutes a form of committed political action that rests on his science of human nature.
