This milestone English translation will provide a general audience with insight into Hutcheson’s thought.\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eIn the words of the editors: “Hutcheson’s Latin texts in logic (\u003cem\u003eLogicae Compendium\u003c\/em\u003e) and metaphysics \u003cem\u003e(Synopsis Metaphysicae\u003c\/em\u003e) form an important part of his collected works. Published respectively in 1756 and, in its second edition, 1744, these works represent Hutcheson’s only systematic treatments of logic, ontology, and pneumatology, or the science of the soul. They were considered indispensable texts for the instruction of students in the eighteenth century. Any serious study of Hutcheson’s moral and political philosophy must take into account his understanding of logic (of ideas, judgments, propositions, and reasoning) and metaphysics (of existence, individuation, causation,\u003cb\u003esubstance, the soul, and the attributes of God).”The introduction and notes to this translation situate the texts in the context of Hutcheson’s mature philosophy and relate it to his teaching at Glasgow from 1730 until his death in 1746. At the same time, the editors show the links to his early teaching in Dublin in the 1720s. The work on natural sociability was Hutcheson’s significant inaugural lecture at Glasgow..\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Moore\u003c\/strong\u003e is Emeritus Professor of Political Science at Concordia\u003cbr\u003eUniversity in Montreal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMichael Silverthorne\u003c\/strong\u003e is Honorary University Fellow in the\u003cbr\u003eSchool of Classics at the University of Exeter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnud Haakonssen\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Intellectual History and Director of the Centre for Intellectual History at the University of Sussex, England.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Liberty Fund, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47180060885232,"sku":"9781614871941","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781614871941_p0.jpg?v=1763853263","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781614871941","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
