Wisdom denotes the pursuing of the best ends by the best means.-Francis Hutcheson 智慧意味着以最佳手段寻求最佳结果。&哈奇森
The cultural tradition of whole Europe and the philosophical trends of his time were the theoretical bases that produced his thoughts of economic ethic, especially physiocracy and David Hume and Francis Hutcheson and Bernard Mandeville brought about a direct influences upon his thoughts. 整个欧洲的文化传统、他所处时代的哲学思潮是产生其经济伦理思想的理论基础,尤其是重农学派和大卫·休谟、弗兰西斯·哈奇森、贝纳德·曼德威尔对斯密的思想产生了直接的影响(第三章)。
Thus, Hutcheson argued that the content of a moral perception, the quality perceived, cannot be forced upon our private advantage. 因此,哈奇森立论说,所感知到性质,即道德知觉的内容不由我们私人利益而定。
Moral sentimentalism was first put forward by Shaftesbury, developed and perfected by Hutcheson, Hume, Smith, et al. 道德情感论是莎夫茨伯里最早提出的,哈奇森、休谟、斯密等人对它进行了完善与发展。
