Publisher's Synopsis
""An Inquiry Into The Original Of Our Ideas Of Beauty And Virtue, In Two Treatises"" is a philosophical work by Francis Hutcheson that explores the origins of our perceptions of beauty and virtue. The book is divided into two treatises, the first of which delves into the concept of beauty, examining how we come to recognize and appreciate it. Hutcheson argues that beauty is not simply a matter of personal taste, but rather a universal quality that can be objectively recognized and appreciated by all. The second treatise explores the concept of virtue, examining the nature of moral goodness and how it can be recognized and cultivated. Hutcheson argues that virtue is not simply a matter of following rules or adhering to social norms, but rather a deeper quality that is rooted in our innate sense of empathy and compassion for others. Overall, ""An Inquiry Into The Original Of Our Ideas Of Beauty And Virtue, In Two Treatises"" is a thought-provoking exploration of two fundamental aspects of human experience, offering insights into how we come to understand and appreciate the world around us.""This Is A New Release Of The Original 1729 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
