Francis Hutcheson: Philosophical Writings

Essays on Ethics, Taste, Laughter, Politics, Economics

Ed. Robin Downie
In this selection of excerpts, Professor Downie presents the central themes in the writings of the Scottish Enlightenment philosopher Francis Hutcheson (1694–1746). The book is in sections on aesthetics, including the essays on laughter; moral philosophy, illustrating Hutcheson’s stress on the sentient side of human nature and its role in moral judgements; and jurisprudence, politics and economics, including writings that were influential in the practical politics of North America. First published in 1994. Slightly off-mint.
