Book Description

Publication Date: July 14, 2003

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. Due to the age and scarcity of the original we reproduced, some pages may be spotty, faded or difficult to read. Old English text.

4.0 out of 5 stars Above Wrong, August 14, 2006

Aaron V. Garrett - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: An Essay on the Nature and Conduct of the Passions and Affections, with Illustrations on the Moral Sense (Natural Law and Enlightenment Classics) (Paperback)

The review is wrong. This is a critical edition of the text with extensive editorial notes, not a photocopying. I should know, I did it. As to ponderous, well Hutcheson is a bit ponderous but he's very important if you want to understand later philosophers like Hume, Kant and Bentham.
