 Leaving aside his influence on the Scottish enlightenment, Hutcheson’s contribution to the broader development of modern British moralism cannot be overstated. His chief philosophical contributions, upon which this entry will concentrate, include his aforementioned sentimentalism, his complex moral psychology, his proto-utilitarianism, his critique of self-interest theorists (such as Hobbes and Mandeville), his critique of rationalists (such as Clarke and Wollaston), and his attempted reconciliation of virtue and self-interest.
