In this paper, I want to explore what Hume's science of man and the new cognitivism have in common, and wherein they differ. I think that by taking a closer look at their similarities and differences we may understand both better. Indeed, I shall argue that we may learn some lessons from Hume's old science that the new could well take to heart.
