According to Douglass Greybill Adair’s influential interpretation, when James Madison was formulating his famous theses on the benefits of a large republic, he was influenced by his reading of David Hume’s essays. However, as far back as the 1980s, Edmund Morgan sharply criticized Adair, claiming that Madison had only been inspired by his political career and not by the reading of theoretical works. In addition, Morgan attempted to show that Hume’s and Madison’s theories of partisanship only give the appearance of being similar, while in reality they contradict one another. The intent of this article is to show that Morgan’s much discussed critique is based on a misleading interpretation of Hume’s theory, and that Madison truly found inspiration in his reading of the philosopher’s works. By analyzing not just Hume’s essays but other of his writings, the author also proves that this influence on Madison is much greater than the traditional interpretive literature has taken into account.

Podle vlivné intepretace Douglasse Greybilla Adaira byl James Madison při formulování svých slavných tezí o výhodách velké republiky ovlivněn četbou esejů Davida Huma. Adairovy názory však podrobil již v 80. letech minulého století ostré kritice Edmund Morgan, který tvrdil, že se Madison inspiroval pouze svou politickou kariérou, a nikoliv četbou teoretizujících knih. Navíc se Morgan pokusil dokázat, že teorie stranictví jsou u Huma a Madisona podobné jen zdánlivě, ve skutečnosti si však protiřečí. Záměrem předkládaného článku je ukázat, že Morganova hojně diskutovaná kritika je založena na zavádějící interpretaci Humovy teorie a že Madison skutečně našel inspiraci v četbě jeho děl. Analýzou dalších Humových spisů, nejen esejů, autorka navíc dokazuje, že je tento vliv mnohem větší, než je zohledňováno v tradiční interpretační literatuře.

One of the aims of this paper was to characterize liberal theories of rational choice which emerged in XX century, especially theory of public choice. It ought to be noticed that such a task was realized many times by many authors. Due to this fact the text is devoted mostly to review the positions presented by the leading representatives of the intellectual circle mentioned above. Especially the shortages of their philosophical anthropology were pointed out. Moreover, the critique of the linguistic dimension of the rational choice theory was proposed. It was also shown that their endeavours of grounding their works in a long lasting tradition is profoundly disputable.
