Burke's “A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful” should be read as the expression of his religion as has been asserted by F. P. Lock, Ian Harris and others. We can see his religion in “A Note-Book of Edmund Burke”, in which he says “Hence Moral Duties are included in Religion, and enforced by it”. Religion enforces men to perform their moral duties. The sublime is almost equivalent to the feeling of divine or delightful horror to the power of God. Burke tried to remind us of the fear to God through his discourse on the sublime. In this point, we can say that Burke revolted against the 18th century when the God of Justice was stepping back to the scenery of this world.

A pamphlet titled The Discoverie of a Gaping Gulf, in which John Stubbs made the comprehensive argument over Elizabeth Iʼs marriage, was published in August 1579. In Gaping Gulf, showing a strong aversion to France, Stubbs insisted that (in terms of religion, history, international war and politico-legal custom) it is impossible for England to tie the knot with France and called for solidarity among Englishmen. In addition, he demanded ʻtrue Englishmanʼ should provide ʻfaythfull counsaileʼ about this issue. According to Stubbs, ʻcounselorsʼ must be ʻChristian commonwealthmenʼ, who dedicate themselves to church and ʻcommonwealthʼ (a community aimed at the common good). If we exploit A.D. Smithʼs argument here, Stubbsʼ ʻcountry loueʼ shows the ideological transition from ʻethnicityʼ to ʻcitizenshipʼ in Tudor England.

Hume establishes the first principle in his study of human nature: ʻall our simple ideas proceed ... from their correspondent impressionsʼ(T 1.1.1.11). It is so primary for his empiricism that based on it, he argues about space and time, a necessary connection between cause and effect, and even vice and virtue. But then why does he present the missing shade of blue as a contradictory example to it? In this paper, I will start by describing the resemblance thesis and the causal thesis involved in his first principle. I will then explain why the missing shade of blue is not a counterexample to the former thesis, but to the latter. Finally, I will argue why he does present the missing shade of blue though it does not affect his first principle.

Hume sometimes refers to an idea of a relation, and according to Humeʼs Copy Principle, this means that there must be a correspondent impression of the relation. However, such an impression, if any, would also raise certain interpretative problems with regard to the consistency of Humeʼs philosophy. In this paper, I try, first, to suppose and characterize the impression of a relation and to complement Humeʼs theory of relation with reference to “intuition,” “necessary connection,” and “calm passion.” Then I attempt to appraise the consistency between Humeʼs theory of relation and his Copy Principle, from the viewpoint of his philosophical purpose.

It is well known that Bentham outlined his theory of private ethics in An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation(1789)and developed it in a more detailed way in a later work titled Deontology. However, both questions -----ʻWhy did he address the problem of private ethics again in the early 1810s?ʼ and ʻWhat brought about some conspicuous differences between the moral theory expounded in An Introduction and that expounded in Deontology?ʼ -----have so far received insufficient attention. This paper is an attempt to answer these questions by clarifying the impact of Benthamʼs discovery of ʻsinister interestʼ and ʻdelusionʼ on his theory of private ethics. It concludes that both Deontology and A Table of the Springs of Action are the works in which his developed theory of private ethics are embodied.

In the end of the book 1 of Treatise of Human Nature, Hume confronts what he calls a 'very dangerous dilemma' concerning reason and imagination, which eventually leads him to deep philosophical melancholy and delirium. The aim of this paper is to elucidate the structure and implication of this dilemma by finding a clear connection between Humeʼs explanations of belief formations by means of two kinds of ʻgeneral rulesʼ on the one hand, and his sceptical arguments, namely with regard to reason and senses, which he presents in the final part of the book 1 on the other.

D.G. Ritchie is known as one of the leading philosophers of British Idealism. Some scholars have regarded him as one of pivotal figures of the New Liberalism, whose prominent theorists were J. A. Hobson and L. T. Hobhouse. However, Hobson and Ritchie had different views on the justification of individual rights including rights of property. Whereas Ritchie criticized the abstractiveness of traditional natural rights theory and insisted that rights of property should be based on social arrangements which were to be judged by the common good of society, Hobson argued that every individual should be assigned by nature, as his natural property, that portion of his product required to sustain his productive energy.

British conceptions of empire were shaped by political arguments on liberty. This study revisits on Edmund Burke's empire thought in the light of the dilemma of liberty and empire, demonstrating that he struggled to reconcile liberty with empire. And the paper tries to offer his original contribution to history of discourse on empire. Burke regarded British Empire's problems after the Seven Years' War as unknown, and could not rely on the example of Roman, Greek, or even British colonies. In order to find the reason, the paper pays attention to Burke's perception that political sphere in empire of the seas is too vast for power and authority of imperial government to exercise enough. And the perception brought him distinction between state and empire, and plan of colonial self-government.

Since Locke presented Molynuexʼs Problem, many debates concerning it have been generated. Although there have been many arguments concerning it, arguments have been limited in problems of perception. In this paper, I tried to go beyond this limit, by carefully reading Berkeleyʼs arguments concerning Molynuexʼs Problem. How did Berkeley analyze Molyneuxʼs Problem? Many commentators have pointed out a huge influence by William Molynuex on Berkeleyʼs arguments on Molyneux Men (who is born blind). But, Berkeley also thought about the other Molyneux Man in the context of Christianity. This contextual fact shows that Berkeley thought arguments concerning Molyneuxʼs Problem should not be limited in the problem of perception.

The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, the SPG was established in 1701 in order to send the missionaries converting the American heathen. The Missionaries tried to instruct the black slaves in the plantations, however, their masters were against the SPG. The planters thought that the slaves were their property and feared that the baptism would make the slaves free. The SPG insisted that baptism did not make any alteration in civil property and that after being Christians, the slaves would be more obedient to their masters. Although the Church of England admitted the slavery, it is important that they promoted the instruction in the Christian faith for the slaves in the eighteenth century.

Lockeʼs account of the tacit consent presents many problems that scholars have not solved. One of these problems is whether one may become a member of a commonwealth by oneʼs tacit consent or not. Most interpreters think that the tacit consent is not condition of the membership. But this interpretation is not satisfactory, since Locke argues at times not only the express consent but also the tacit consent can make one to be the member. In this paper I try to offer a new solution for this problem. I argue that, firstly, the tacit consent commonly can be inferred as the express consent and, secondly, Pufendorf who has much influence on Locke admits that the tacit consent often plays the same role of the express consent, then Locke himself must accept Pufendorfʼs idea. Therefore, one may become the member by oneʼs tacit consent.

This paper re-appraises L.T. Hobhouseʼs (1864-1929) and J.A. Hobsonʼs (1858-1940) criticisms of British idealist philosopher Bernard Bosanquet (1848-1923). Their critique has been seen as an indication of the theoretical and ideological distance between the new liberalism and British idealism. Comparing their attacks on Bosanquetʼs methodology, theory of will, and state and welfare theories with what Bosanquet actually argued, however, reveals not only the irrelevance of their criticisms but also some fundamental commonalities between these two philosophical movements: they shared an interest in the methodological integration of science and ethics, a focus on the reciprocity between morality and society, and a repudiation of the spirit of materialism, all of which provided the ʻidealist liberalʼ background for the early British welfare state.

This paper aims to clarify and explicate Humeʼs two definitions of “cause.” These definitions are not reductive, since they do not analyze the idea of causation into its parts; nor are they ostensive in that they do not directly point to the core element of causation. Rather, Humeʼs definitions are “causal” and describe situations in which the idea of causation is formed in our minds. I argue that once Humeʼs definitions are understood this way, typical objections to them are off the mark. In addition, I point out that they play a constitutive role in preventing the idea of causation from being more obscure, by excluding wrong analyses of causation that lead to a mistaken conception of causation.

Berkeleyʼs philosophy holds that we have knowledge of our own minds. However it is not very clear what the mind is. I examine the mind from two aspects. First, I examine the epistemological aspect of the mind. I show that for notional knowledge we do not have any notion of mind without ideas. The notional knowledge of mind includes the faculties which ascend from sense, memory, imagination, and reason to intellect. Yet they are only faculties, not substance. Secondly, I examine the metaphysical aspect of mind as substance. Its essence is one, and its one participates in One of To Hen. Through this examination we will have the fundamental principles to reconstruct the metaphysics of mind and God in Berkeleyʼs Philosophy.
