Many people believe that the Enlightenment was a movement that criticized religion and pro-moted rationalism, but we can see from the writings of Francis Hutcheson and others that this idea is wrong. Hutcheson used Locke’s theory of cognition to propose that people have “moral senses” and used it to refute rationalists such as Hobbes. In Hutcheson’s moral epistemology, God designed our moral senses to promote the communal good in society, and our benevolence is born from it. For Hutcheson, as long as a person exhibits spiritual virtue, that person is divine. According to Hutcheson’s theory, it is clear that the good in the world derives from the goodness of God, and that the path of seeking goodness and even the existence of the concept of goodness derived from God. Therefore, although Hutcheson’s theory is strongly enlightened anthropology, it does not criticize the manifestation of religion.
