Sull'Autore

The founder of moral sense theory was born in County Down, Ireland. Francis Hutcheson's father and grandfather were Presbyterian ministers, and he studied at the University of Glasgow from 1711 to 1717 in preparation for the Presbyterian ministry. For the next decade, he taught at an academy for mostra altro dissenting clergy in Dublin, most of the time serving as its head. He was appointed professor of moral philosophy at Glasgow in 1730, a position he held until his death. Hutcheson's principal contributions to philosophy were in the fields of moral philosophy and aesthetics. His chief works are Inquiry into the Original of Our Ideas of Beauty and Virtue (1725), Philosophiae Moralis Institutio (1742), and the posthumously published System of Moral Philosophy (1755). Against the English rationalists Samuel Clarke and Richard Price, Hutcheson rigorously developed Shaftesbury's suggestion that moral distinctions are made by our sensitive rather than our rational nature. In aesthetics he gave an analogous account of our sense of beauty. Hutcheson's theories profoundly influenced Hume and also had a significant impact on Kant in his precritical period.

Synopsis metaphysicae, : ontologiam et pneu… di Francis Hutcheson, 1694-1746

Francis Hutcheson (1694-1746) was one of the leading philosophers of the 'Scottish Enlightenment'. He was Professor of Moral Philosophy at Glasgow University for the sixteen years before his death, and influenced such people as the economist Adam Smith, Adam Ferguson, Thomas Reid, Lord Kames, and Edward Synge. The American politician, Thomas Jefferson, was sufficiently impressed by Hutcheson's teachings that he introduced into the American Declaration of Independence the phrase 'the pursuit of happiness', which Hutcheson believed was a human aim. 'A System of Moral Philosophy', as a textbook for government, human responsibility,and the justice system, is as relevant today as it was when it was written. As this edition is printed in the format of the eighteenth century, where the letter 's' looks like an 'f', it is a little harder to read, but it is worth-while reading all the same. - Iain Esslemont in Amazon review, https://www.amazon.ca/System-Moral-Philosophy-Book-One/dp/1628451769#customerRev...
