 Generally, Hutcheson appears to individuate senses by the sorts of things that generate the particular ideas/pleasures involved. For instance, he suggests that “Harmony” “denotes our pleasant Ideas arising from Composition of Sounds” (Inquiry 23). Here we know it is the sense of harmony, rather than, e.g., the moral sense, because the pleasure we take is given rise by the “composition of sounds”. The pleasures of the publick sense arise as a result of the consideration of others’ happiness and misery (Essay, 17). The pleasures of the sense of dignity arise from others’ assessment of us, and so on.
