Abstract

The aesthetic implications of Law’s thought become clearer still when an analysis is made of Byrom and Law’s revaluation of traditional Enlightenment psychology. Their critique of Descartes and Locke stems from Law’s theology of Creation. In their account of the nature of man, they merely spell out the psychological implications of this theology. In his “Thoughts on the Constitution of Human Nature as Represented in the Systems of Modern Philosophers,” Byrom has perhaps Hutcheson particularly in mind; but through Hutcheson, he is attacking the sources of Enlightenment psychology, Descartes and Locke.1
