Daniel Carey examines afresh the fundamental debate within the

Enlightenment about human diversity. Three central figures - Locke,

Shaftesbury, and Hutcheson - questioned whether human nature was

fragmented by diverse and incommensurable customs and beliefs or

unified by shared moral and religious principles. Locke's critique

of innate ideas initiated the argument, claiming that no consensus

existed in the world about morality or God's existence. Testimony

of human difference established this point. His position was

disputed by the third Earl of Shaftesbury who reinstated a Stoic

account of mankind as inspired by common ethical convictions and an

impulse toward the divine. Hutcheson attempted a difficult

synthesis of these two opposing figures, respecting Locke's

critique while articulating a moral sense that structured human

nature. Daniel Carey concludes with an investigation of the

relationship between these arguments and contemporary theories, and

shows that current conflicting positions reflect long-standing

differences that first emerged during the Enlightenment.

书籍介绍

Are human beings linked by a common nature, one that makes them see the world in the same moral way? Or are they fragmented by different cultural practices and values? These fundamental questions of our existence were debated in the Enlightenment by Locke, Shaftesbury, and Hutcheson. Daniel Carey provides an important new historical perspective on their discussion. At the same time, he explores the relationship between these founding arguments and contemporary disputes over cultural diversity and multiculturalism. Our own conflicting positions today reflect long-standing differences that emerged during the Enlightenment.
