""An Essay on the Nature and Conduct of the Passions and Affections With Illustrations on the Moral Sense"" is a philosophical treatise by Francis Hutcheson. In this book, Hutcheson explores the nature of human emotions and their impact on moral behavior. He argues that passions and affections are an essential part of human nature and that they play a crucial role in determining our moral conduct. Hutcheson also examines the concept of the moral sense, which he defines as an innate ability to distinguish between right and wrong. Through various illustrations, he demonstrates how the moral sense operates in different situations and how it can guide our actions. Overall, this book offers a comprehensive analysis of human emotions and their relationship to morality, making it a significant contribution to the field of moral philosophy.1742. Although the main practical principles, which are repeated in this treatise, have this prejudice in their favor, that they have been taught and propagated by the best of men in all ages, yet there is reason to fear that renewed treatises upon subjects so often well managed may be looked upon as superfluous. In this essay, the proofs and illustrations of this point that we have a moral sense, and a sense of honor by which we discern an immediate good in virtue and honor, are not much insisted on since they have been laid down in previous treatises.

L'ensemble des quatre textes, dont nous proposons ici une traduction inédite, recèle une valeur considérable, restée trop longtemps ignorée, car ces textes mettent en valeur des problèmes fondamentaux, principalement en ce qui concerne l'épistémologie de la morale : quels sont les rôles respectifs joués par la raison, les sens ou l'émotion dans les jugements moraux ? Existe-t-il un principe fondamental de l'éthique ? Et si c'est le cas, quelles en sont les bases ?

""An Inquiry into the Original of Our Ideas of Beauty and Virtue, In Two Treatises"" is a philosophical work by Francis Hutcheson. The book discusses the origins of our concepts of beauty and virtue, and how they are perceived by individuals. Hutcheson argues that these concepts are innate and universal, and that they can be understood through reason and intuition. The book is divided into two treatises, with the first focusing on the concept of beauty and the second on virtue. Hutcheson draws on a wide range of sources, including classical philosophy and contemporary science, to support his arguments. The book is considered a key text in the development of aesthetics and moral philosophy, and has influenced many subsequent thinkers in these fields.1729. This work contains two treatises: concerning beauty, order, harmony, design, and concerning moral good and evil. There is no part of philosophy of more importance than a just knowledge of human nature and its various powers and dispositions. The author presents these papers as an inquiry into the various pleasures which human nature is capable of receiving.

The writings of Francis Hutcheson played a central role in the development of British moral philosophy in the eighteenth century. "His Illustrations on the Moral Sense" is significant not only historically but also for its exploration of problems of concern in contemporary ethics. Yet except for brief selections it has not appeared in print since the eighteenth century. This edition of "Illustrations on the Moral Sense" again makes available Hutcheson's contributions to normative ethics and metaethics, thus making possible a more accurate evaluation of his significance in the history of ethics.
