Thanks to Stephen Darwall for his comments and to the Canadian Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council for supporting my attendance at the Hutcheson Tri-centenary conference held at Glasgow University (8-11 April 1994), where an earlier version of this paper was read.

See Stephen Darwall, The British Moralists and the Internal "Ought": 1640-1740 (Cambridge, 1995), 217. This major work came to hand too late for thorough discussion in this paper, but I shall flag in footnotes a couple of places where my interpretation of Hutcheson differs from Darwall's.

For example, compare I, 136 ("Beneficence then must raise our love, as it is an amiable moral quality"), and IV, 156 ("Beneficence then must increase our good-will, as it raises complacence, which is still attended with stronger degrees of benevolence"). Complacence (or approval) is distinguished from good-will and benevolence in the second version.

For a discussion of second order desires in the context of Butler, see Austin Duncan-Jones, 155-57. However, at the start of this passage, "second order desire" seems to mean what I call "responsive benevolence," and in the last sentence (157) to mean what I call "meta-desires."

I shall refer to the Introduction and the System together as Hutcheson's later philosophy. Scott believes Hutcheson wrote the System before the Introduction, but this has been questioned by Moore. See William Robert Scott, Francis Hutcheson: His Life, Teaching, and Position in the History of Philosophy (Cambridge, 1900; repr. New York, 1966); James Moore, "The Two Systems of Francis Hutcheson: On the Origins of the Scottish Enlightenment," in Studies in the Philosophy of the Scottish Enlightenment, ed. M. A. Stewart (Oxford, 1990). When discussing Scott's comments on the development of Hutcheson's ideas of virtue, I shall use the order proposed by Scott for the sake of convenience. In fact Hutcheson's various views on moral motivation do not offer enough evidence to help date the order of composition of his later works. Moore thinks Hutcheson's Latin works (including the Introduction, which was published first in Latin in 1742) do not represent a development of Hutcheson's thought but a difference of emphasis appropriate for different intended audiences (the Latin works were published lecture notes intended for student use). On the issue of moral motivation I see a clear progression between Hutcheson's earlier and his later works, but differences between the Introduction and the System may well be a matter of emphasis.
