The Seventh Sense: Francis Hutcheson and Eighteenth-Century British Aesthetics
Peter Kivy
Abstract
I have tried to do two things in this book: first, to make an analytic study of Francis Hutcheson's Inquiry Concerning Beauty, Order, Harmony, and Design, in some detail and completeness; second, to trace the development in Britain of its leading idea, the sense of beauty, to its decline at the close of the eighteenth century.
Keywords: aesthetics, beauty, David Hume, Francis Hutcheson, Peter Kivy, Thomas Reid, sense, sense of beauty, sentiment, Shaftesbury
