"A System of Moral Philosophy" is a work by Francis Hutcheson, an 18th-century philosopher. In this text, Hutcheson explores the foundations of ethics and moral reasoning, emphasizing the importance of human sentiments and feelings in determining right and wrong. He argues that moral judgments arise from our natural inclinations to seek happiness and avoid harm. Hutcheson's philosophy contrasts with rationalist approaches, suggesting that morality is not solely based on reason but also on our innate sense of compassion and empathy. This work laid the groundwork for later developments in moral philosophy, influencing thinkers like David Hume and Adam Smith.
