Book excerpt: 'A Posthumous Publication: Francis Hutcheson's System of Moral Philosophy (1755)' is an analytic contextual consideration of why the book A System of Moral Philosophy by Hutcheson was published in 1755, nine years after the author's death. As well as focusing in chapter one on the book itself, the thesis examines the individuals surrounding it and the academic history contemporary to its publication. The suggestion is that the reasons for this late publication of a book, which even the author thought unfinished, lay not so much in the memorialising of Hutcheson's esteemed pedagogy but in the need to reiterate the ideas underpinning his teaching to counter the difficulties raised by the academic ambitions of David Hume, as perceived by the professor of Divinity at Glasgow University, William Leechman. Therefore in light of the book's putative purpose, in chapters two, three and four key ideas in Hutcheson's pedagogy, ontology and perfectibility are examined: This order reflects his methods, system and philosophy and their connections. Entwined with these ideas are the internecine familial, academic and political environments of the early eighteenth century in Scotland and Ireland: But is in the context of academe that the framework for the historicisation of Hutcheson, Leechman and Hume is located. The final chapter argues that Leechman's publication of Hutcheson's only remaining unpublished work, System, was a judicious project which appears to have been successful in preventing Hume from making a fourth attempt to attain a chair in a Scottish University.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: * one of the great philosophical works of the eighteenth century * the rare and valuable first edition, reprinted in its entirety 'Of the countless reprints of Scottish Enlightenment works that Thoemmes has given us, none is more welcome than this. The posthumous System was not only Hutcheson's own last word on the full range of topics that he included under the rubric "moral philosophy", but also a monumental event in the book history of the Scottish Enlightenment itself.' - Newsletter of the 18th-Century Scottish Studies Society Francis Hutcheson (1694-1746) was a key figure in the Scottish Enlightenment and one of the eighteenth century's most influential philosophers. He taught Adam Smith and he greatly influenced Hume and Bentham. His theory that the only proper actions are those which will generally benefit society prepared the way for the English utilitarians. His views were extensively discussed throughout Britain and ranged as far as the American colonies, where his political theory was adopted by revolutionaries. He is best known for his contribution to moral theory, being the chief exponent of the 'moral sense' doctrine which, following Shaftesbury, emphasized feeling rather than reasoning as the source of judgements of virtue and vice.A System of Moral Philosophy was written as early as 1738, but added to and altered by Hutcheson throughout his life. Published posthumously in 1755 by Hutcheson's son, Francis the younger, the System is Hutcheson's longest work and the fullest explanation of his method. Giving a comprehensive account of morality, it includes discussions of human nature; our duties to God, to each other and ourselves; the supreme good; civil liberty; rights; contracts; marriage; the rights and duties of parents; and the laws of peace and war. The work also contains an argument against slavery that was reprinted in colonial Philadelphia and helped give academic weight to the anti-slavery movement. William Leechman, a friend of Hutcheson and Professor of Divinity at Glasgow, contributes a highly valuable biography. This edition also includes a new introduction by Daniel Carey.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Francis Hutcheson (1694-1746) was the first major philosopher of the Scottish Enlightenment, and one of the great thinkers in the history of British moral philosophy. He firmly rejected the reductionist view, common then as now, that morality is nothing more than the prudent pursuit of self-interest, arguing in favour of a theory of a moral sense. The two texts presented here are the most eloquent expressions of this theory. The Reflections on our Common Systems of Morality insists on the connection between moral philosophy and moral improvement, and was a preview of his first major work, the Inquiry of 1725. The lecture On the Social Nature of Man, arguing against the psychological egoism of Hobbes, appears here in an English translation for the first time. Thomas Mautner's introduction and editorial apparatus provide a mass of new information, helping to give the reader a sense of the intellectual climate in which Hutcheson lived.
