20. Action / C. Motives for Action / 4. Responsibility for Actions

2224	Praise and blame can only be given if an action proceeds from a person's character and disposition [Hume]
	Full Idea: Where actions proceed not from some cause in the character and disposition of the person who performed them, they can neither redound to his honour, if good, nor his infamy, if evil.
	From: David Hume (Enquiry Conc Human Understanding [1748], VIII.I.76)
