It pronounces immediately on the character of actions and affections, approving those that are virtuous, and disapproving those that are vicious. "His principal design," he says in the preface to the two first treatises, "is to show that human nature was not left quite indifferent in the affair of virtue, to form to itself observations concerning the advantage or disadvantage of actions, and accordingly to regulate its conduct. The weakness of our reason, and the avocations arising from the infirmity and necessities of our nature, are so great that very few men could ever have formed those long deductions of reasons that show some actions to be in the whole advantageous to the agent, and their contraries pernicious. The Author of nature has much better furnished us for a <a href="/wiki/Virtue" title="Virtue">virtuous conduct</a> than our moralists seem to imagine, by almost as quick and powerful instructions as we have for the preservation of our bodies. He has made virtue a lovely form, to excite our pursuit of it, and has given us strong affections to be the springs of each virtuous action."<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEFowlerAnonymous191110_2-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFowlerAnonymous191110-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Passing over the appeal to final causes involved in this passage, as well as the assumption that the "moral sense" has had no growth or history, but was "implanted" in man exactly as found among the more civilized races (an assumption common to both Hutcheson and <a href="/wiki/Joseph_Butler" title="Joseph Butler">Butler</a>), his use of the term "sense" tends to obscure the real nature of the process of moral judgement. For, as established by <a href="/wiki/David_Hume" title="David Hume">Hume</a>, this act consists of two parts: an act of deliberation leading to an intellectual judgement; and a reflex feeling of satisfaction at actions we consider good, and of dissatisfaction at those we consider bad. By the intellectual part of this process, we refer the action or <a href="/wiki/Habit_(psychology)" class="mw-redirect" title="Habit (psychology)">habit</a> to a certain class; but no sooner is the intellectual process complete than there is excited in us a feeling similar to what myriads of actions and habits of (apparently) the same class excited in us on former occasions.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEFowlerAnonymous191110–11_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFowlerAnonymous191110–11-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Even if the latter part of this process is instantaneous, uniform and exempt from error, the former is not. All mankind may approve of that which is virtuous or makes for the general good, but they entertain the most widely divergent opinions and frequently arrive at directly opposite conclusions as to particular actions and habits. Hutcheson recognizes this obvious distinction in his analysis of the mental process preceding moral action, and does not ignore it, even when writing on the moral approbation or disapprobation that follows action. Nonetheless, Hutcheson, both by his phraseology and the language he uses to describe the process of moral approbation, has done much to favour that loose, popular view of morality which, ignoring the necessity of deliberation and reflection, encourages hasty resolves and unpremeditated judgements.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEFowlerAnonymous191111_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFowlerAnonymous191111-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The term "moral sense" (which, it may be noticed, had already been employed by Shaftesbury, not only, as <a href="/wiki/William_Whewell" title="William Whewell">William Whewell</a> suggests, in the margin, but also in the text of his <i>Inquiry</i>), if invariably coupled with the term "moral judgement," would be open to little objection; but, taken alone, as designating the complex process of moral approbation, it is liable to lead not only to serious misapprehension but to grave practical errors. For, if each person's decisions are solely the result of an immediate intuition of the moral sense, why be at any pains to test, correct or review them? Or why educate a faculty whose decisions are infallible? And how do we account for differences in the moral decisions of different societies, and the observable changes in a person's own views? The expression has, in fact, the fault of most metaphorical terms: it leads to an exaggeration of the truth it is intended to suggest.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEFowlerAnonymous191111_10-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFowlerAnonymous191111-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>But though Hutcheson usually describes the moral faculty as acting instinctively and immediately, he does not, like Butler, conflate the moral faculty with the moral standard. The test or criterion of right action is with Hutcheson, as with Shaftesbury, its tendency to promote the general welfare of mankind. He thus anticipates the utilitarianism of <a href="/wiki/Jeremy_Bentham" title="Jeremy Bentham">Bentham</a>—and not only in principle, but even in the use of the phrase "the greatest happiness for the greatest number" (<i>Inquiry concerning Moral Good and Evil</i>, sect. 3). Hutcheson does not seem to have seen an inconsistency between this external criterion with his fundamental ethical principle. Intuition has no possible connection with an empirical calculation of results, and Hutcheson in adopting such a criterion practically denies his fundamental assumption. Connected with Hutcheson's virtual adoption of the utilitarian standard is a kind of moral algebra, proposed for the purpose of "computing the morality of actions." This calculus occurs in the <i>Inquiry concerning Moral Good and Evil</i>, sect. 3.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEFowlerAnonymous191111_10-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFowlerAnonymous191111-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Hutcheson's other distinctive ethical doctrine is what has been called the "benevolent theory" of morals. Hobbes had maintained that all other actions, however disguised under apparent sympathy, have their roots in <a href="/wiki/Self-love" title="Self-love">self-love</a>. Hutcheson not only maintains that benevolence is the sole and direct source of many of our actions, but, by a not unnatural recoil from the repellent doctrine of Hobbes, that it is the only source of those actions of which, on reflection, we approve. Consistently with this position, actions that flow from self-love only are morally indifferent. But surely, by the common consent of civilized men, prudence, temperance, cleanliness, industry, self-respect and, in general, the "personal virtues", are regarded, and rightly regarded, as fitting objects of moral approbation.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEFowlerAnonymous191111_10-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFowlerAnonymous191111-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>This consideration could hardly escape any author, however wedded to his own system, and Hutcheson attempts to extricate himself from the difficulty by laying down the position that a man may justly regard himself as a part of the rational system, and may thus "be, in part, an object of his own benevolence" (Ibid.), a curious abuse of terms, which really concedes the question at issue. Moreover, he acknowledges that, though self-love does not merit approbation, neither, except in its extreme forms, did it merit condemnation, indeed the satisfaction of the dictates of self-love is one of the very conditions of the preservation of society. To press home the inconsistencies involved in these various statement would be a superfluous task.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEFowlerAnonymous191111_10-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFowlerAnonymous191111-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The vexed question of liberty and necessity appears to be carefully avoided in Hutcheson's professedly ethical works. But, in the <i>Synopsis metaphysicae</i>, he touches on it in three places, briefly stating both sides of the question, but evidently inclining to what he designates as the opinion of the Stoics, in opposition to what he designates as the opinion of the Peripatetics. This is substantially the same as the doctrine propounded by Hobbes and <a href="/wiki/John_Locke" title="John Locke">Locke</a> (to the latter of whom Hutcheson refers in a note), namely that our will is determined by motives in conjunction with our general character and habit of mind, and that the only true liberty is the liberty of acting as we will, not the liberty of willing as we will. Though, however, his leaning is clear, he carefully avoids dogmatising, and deprecates the angry controversies to which the speculation on this subject had given rise.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEFowlerAnonymous191111_10-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFowlerAnonymous191111-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>It is easy to trace the influence of Hutcheson's ethical theories on the systems of Hume and <a href="/wiki/Adam_Smith" title="Adam Smith">Adam Smith</a>.

To a study of the writings of Shaftesbury and Hutcheson we might, probably, in large measure, attribute the unequivocal adoption of the utilitarian standard by Hume, and, if this be the case, the name of Hutcheson connects itself, through Hume, with the names of <a href="/wiki/Joseph_Priestley" title="Joseph Priestley">Priestley</a>, <a href="/wiki/William_Paley" title="William Paley">Paley</a> and <a href="/wiki/Jeremy_Bentham" title="Jeremy Bentham">Bentham</a>. <a href="/wiki/Joseph_Butler" title="Joseph Butler">Butler</a>'s <i>Sermons</i> appeared in 1726, the year after the publication of Hutcheson's two first essays, and there are parallels between the "conscience" of the one writer and the "moral sense" of the other.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEFowlerAnonymous191111_10-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFowlerAnonymous191111-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Death">Death</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Francis_Hutcheson_(philosopher)&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Death"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Francis Hutcheson spent time in Dublin, and died while on a visit to that city in 1746.

They are interesting mainly as a link between Locke and the Scottish school. In the former subject the influence of Locke is apparent throughout. All the main outlines of Locke's philosophy seem, at first sight, to be accepted as a matter of course. Thus, in stating his theory of the moral sense, Hutcheson is peculiarly careful to repudiate the doctrine of innate ideas (see, for instance, <i>Inquiry concerning Moral Good and Evil</i>, sect. I ad fin., and sect. 4; and compare <i>Synopsis Metaphysicae</i>, pars i. cap. 2). At the same time he shows more discrimination than does Locke in distinguishing between the two uses of this expression, and between the legitimate and illegitimate form of the doctrine (<i>Syn. Metaph.</i> pars i. cap. 2).<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEFowlerAnonymous191111_10-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFowlerAnonymous191111-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>All our ideas are, as by Locke, referred to external or internal sense, or, in other words, to sensation and reflection. It is, however, a most important modification of Locke's doctrine, and connects Hutcheson's mental philosophy with that of <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Reid" title="Thomas Reid">Reid</a>, when he states that the ideas of extension, figure, motion and rest "are more properly ideas accompanying the sensations of sight and touch than the sensations of either of these senses"; that the idea of self accompanies every thought, and that the ideas of number, duration and existence accompany every other idea whatsoever (see <i>Essay on the Nature and Conduct of the Passions</i>, sect. i. art. I; <i>Syn. Metaph</i>. pars i. cap. 1, pars ii. cap. I; Hamilton on Reid, p. 124, note). Other important points in which Hutcheson follows the lead of Locke are his depreciation of the importance of the so-called laws of thought, his distinction between the primary and secondary qualities of bodies, the position that we cannot know the inmost essences of things ("<i>intimae rerum naturae sive essentiae</i>"), though they excite various ideas in us, and the assumption that external things are known only through the medium of ideas (<i>Syn. Metaph</i>. pars i. cap. I), though, at the same time, we are assured of the existence of an external world corresponding to these ideas.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEFowlerAnonymous191111_10-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFowlerAnonymous191111-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Hutcheson attempts to account for our assurance of the reality of an external world by referring it to a natural instinct (<i>Syn. Metaph</i>. pars i. cap. 1). Of the correspondence or similitude between our ideas of the primary qualities of things and the things themselves God alone can be assigned as the cause. This similitude has been effected by Him through a law of nature. "<i>Haec prima qualitatum primariarum perceptio, sive mentis actio quaedam sive passio dicatur, non-alia similitudinis aut convenientiae inter ejusmodi ideas et res ipsas causa assignari posse videtur, quam ipse Deus, qui certa naturae lege hoc efilcit, Ut notiones, quae rebus praesentibus excitantur, sint ipsis similes, aut saltem earum habitudines, si non-veras quantitates, depingant</i>" (pars ii. cap. I). Locke does speak of God "annexing" certain ideas to certain motions of bodies; but nowhere does he propound a theory so definite as that here propounded by Hutcheson, which reminds us at least as much of the speculations of <a href="/wiki/Nicolas_Malebranche" title="Nicolas Malebranche">Nicolas Malebranche</a> as of those of Locke.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEFowlerAnonymous191111_10-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFowlerAnonymous191111-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Amongst the more important points in which Hutcheson diverges from Locke is his account of the idea of personal identity, which he appears to have regarded as made known to us directly by consciousness. The distinction between body and mind, <i>corpus</i> or <i>materia</i> and <i>res cogitans</i>, is more emphatically accentuated by Hutcheson than by Locke. Generally, he speaks as if we had a direct consciousness of mind as distinct from body, though, in the posthumous work on <i>Moral Philosophy</i>, he expressly states that we know mind as we know body" by qualities immediately perceived though the substance of both be unknown (bk. i. ch. 1).

In these parts of the book Hutcheson mainly follows Locke. The technicalities of the subject are passed lightly over, and the book is readable. It may be specially noticed that he distinguishes between the mental result and its verbal expression judgment-proposition, that he constantly employs the word "idea," and that he defines <a href="/wiki/Logical_truth" title="Logical truth">logical truth</a> as "<i>convenientia signorum cum rebus significatis</i>" (or "<i>propositionis convenientia cum rebus ipsis</i>," <i>Syn.

His speculations on this subject are contained in the <i>Inquiry concerning Beauty, Order, Harmony and Design</i>, the first of the two treatises published in 1725. He maintains that we are endowed with a special sense by which we perceive beauty, harmony and proportion. This is a reflex sense, because it presupposes the action of the external senses of sight and hearing. It may be called an internal sense, both to distinguish its perceptions from the mere perceptions of sight and hearing, and because "in some other affairs, where our external senses are not much concerned, we discern a sort of beauty, very like in many respects to that observed in sensible objects, and accompanied with like pleasure" (<i>Inquiry</i>, etc., sect. 1, XI). The latter reason leads him to call attention to the beauty perceived in universal truths, in the operations of general causes and in moral principles and actions. Thus, the analogy between beauty and virtue, which was so favourite a topic with Shaftesbury, is prominent in the writings of Hutcheson also. Scattered up and down the treatise there are many important and interesting observations that our limits prevent us from noticing. But to the student of mental philosophy it may be specially interesting to remark that Hutcheson both applies the principle of association to explain our ideas of beauty and also sets limits to its application, insisting on there being "a natural power of perception or sense of beauty in objects, antecedent to all custom, education or example" (see Inquiry, etc., sects. 6, 7; Hamilton's <i>Lectures on Metaphysics</i>, Lect. 44 <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">ad fin</i></span>.).<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEFowlerAnonymous191112_13-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFowlerAnonymous191112-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Hutcheson's writings gave rise to much controversy. To say nothing of minor opponents, such as "Philaretus" (Gilbert Burnet, already alluded to), Dr John Balguy (1686–1748), prebendary of Salisbury, the author of two tracts on "The Foundation of Moral Goodness", and Dr John Taylor (1694–1761) of Norwich, a minister of considerable reputation in his time (author of <i>An Examination of the Scheme of Amorality advanced by Dr Hutcheson</i>), the essays appear to have suggested, by antagonism, at least two works that hold a permanent place in the literature of English ethics—Butler's <i>Dissertation on the Nature of Virtue</i>, and <a href="/wiki/Richard_Price" title="Richard Price">Richard Price</a>'s <i>Treatise of Moral Good and Evil</i> (1757). In this latter work the author maintains, in opposition to Hutcheson, that actions are – in themselves right or wrong, that right and wrong are simple ideas incapable of analysis, and that these ideas are perceived immediately by the understanding. We thus see that, not only directly but also through the replies that it called forth, the system of Hutcheson, or at least the system of Hutcheson combined with that of Shaftesbury, contributed, in large measure, to the formation and development of some of the most important of the later schools of ethics.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEFowlerAnonymous191112_13-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFowlerAnonymous191112-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Later_scholarly_mention">Later scholarly mention</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Francis_Hutcheson_(philosopher)&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Later scholarly mention"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>References to Hutcheson occur in histories, both of general philosophy and of moral philosophy, as, for instance, in pt. vii. of Adam Smith's <i>Theory of Moral Sentiments</i>; <a href="/wiki/James_Mackintosh" title="James Mackintosh">Mackintosh</a>'s <i>Progress of Ethical Philosophy</i>; <a href="/wiki/Victor_Cousin" title="Victor Cousin">Cousin</a>, <i>Cours d'histoire de la philosophie morale du XVIII' siècle</i>; Whewell's <i>Lectures on the History of Moral Philosophy in England</i>; <a href="/wiki/Alexander_Bain_(philosopher)" title="Alexander Bain (philosopher)">A Bain</a>'s <i>Mental and Moral Science</i>; <a href="/wiki/Noah_Porter" title="Noah Porter">Noah Porter</a>'s Appendix to the English translation of <a href="/wiki/Ueberweg" class="mw-redirect" title="Ueberweg">Ueberweg</a>'s <i>History of Philosophy</i>; <a href="/wiki/Sir_Leslie_Stephen" class="mw-redirect" title="Sir Leslie Stephen">Sir Leslie Stephen</a>'s <i>History of English Thought in the Eighteenth Gentury</i>, etc. See also <a href="/wiki/James_Martineau" title="James Martineau">Martineau</a>, <i>Types of Ethical Theory</i> (London, 1902); WR Scott, <i>Francis Hutcheson</i> (Cambridge, 1900); Albee, <i>History of English Utilitarianism</i> (London, 1902); T Fowler, <i>Shaftesbury and Hutcheson</i> (London, 1882); <a href="/wiki/James_McCosh" title="James McCosh">J McCosh</a>, <i>Scottish Philosophy</i> (New York, 1874).
