Abstract
Hutcheson holds that the aesthetic and the moral can be prised apart in the course of an analytic exercise, and this is in fact something that Hutcheson himself accomplishes when he analyses beauty in terms of unity amidst diversity and analyses moral motivation in terms of benevolence. But he believes that the loveliness of a moral act is not a mere accident supervenient upon the act, any more than the morality of a lovely act is accidental to the act. Hutcheson's moral theory is essentially aesthetic.
