The truth of the moral law, 'Thou shalt do to others as you wish that they should do to you, is as evident as the truth of the law in geometry, 'things which are equal to the same thing are equal to each other. Stewart so far approves that he wishes to give to the moral law what is now called all possible 'objectivity, while the 'moral sense' of Hutcheson apparently introduced a 'subjective' element.
And they have the audacity to call their craft the Lola the Lola, of all names!" "But as you know who and what the fellows are, you ought, I think, in common justice to Hutcheson, to tell us something," I complained. "If they are adventurers, they ought to be traced." "What can I do a prisoner here on board?" he argued bitterly. "How can I act?" "Leave it all to me.
Hutcheson has thus a higher and lower grade of Benevolence; the higher would correspond to the disinterestedness that arises from the operation of fixed ideas, the lower to those affections that are generated in us by pleasing objects. He has no discussion on the freedom of the will, contenting himself with mere voluntariness as an element in moral approbation or censure.
