In an essay, “Of Tragedy,” Hume tried to solve the problem of why disagreeable passions caused by tragedy should eventually be converted to pleasure. Some scholars interpret that Hume explained this away by the theory of the conversion of passions, instead of the theory of sympathy. This paper argues that Hume applied his principal doctrine of psychological association and his theory of sympathy in its explanation. He also paid attention to the artistry of drama itself, especially the rhetorical skills and its subject matter, which are important to get the spectators' sympathy in the first place.

Some scholars believe that Hume used the “anatomist” method in the Treatise, and the “painter” method in the Essays. But the “painter” method in the Essays can be further separated into two methods, “allegory” and “history”. Hume regarded the historical method as a more effective way to appeal to his readers' mind than the allegoric method because the former proved to be useful for refinement of passions. Hume demonstrated this in “Of the rise and progress of the arts and sciences” by arguing that arts and sciences, especially the modern gallantry, had grown historically from such particular passions as curiosity and generosity under different circumstances generated by republics and civilized monarchies.

The purpose of this paper is two: One is to reveal Burke's aesthetics based upon the double character of both ‘imagination’ and ‘imitation’, giving attention to his parallel of poetry and painting. The other is to point out that ‘obscurity’ and ‘terror’ are the prime and coherent ideas closely related to the Sublime, resulting in his view of the superiority of poetry to painting. I will demonstrate the true image of the young Burke in A Philosophical Enquiry (1757).

A great deal of effort has been made on Bentham's thought in general. What seems to be lacking, however, is a systematic analysis of Bentham's conception of government in his early times. In this paper, I intend to sketch Bentham's conception of government as the “régime of publicity”. My analytical approaches are based on the ideas in his Fragment and Introduction (IPML). I shall extract a “mutual enlightenment” from his Essays on Political Tactics and “mutual discipline” from his Panopticon. For these concepts reflect relationship between governor and governed, I shall concentrate my attention on analyzing a “pessimistic legislator” and a “progressive public”. When examining some of these, it surely makes sense that Bentham's conception of government as the “régime of publicity” is characterized by “mutual enlightenment” and “mutual discipline”.

J. L. Austin presented an elaborated correspondence theory of truth. His formulation of the truth condition of statements roughly is as follows: a statement is true when the situation to which it is correlated by the demonstrative conventions is of a type of situations with which the sentence used in making it is correlated by the descriptive conventions. Austin uniquely asserts there are various degrees of truth. His truth condition can explain this in two ways. Firstly, the degree of truth is that of a situation's being of a given type. Secondly, it is the position, in the hierarchy of types, of the type which a given situation is of.

Innately free and equal people build a free and equal civil society, though the society is the exclusive state of autonomous proprietors, especially landowners. However there is no contradiction. Because Locke offers two ways, inland improvement and outward colonization. In the former, although the poor can become managing proprietors by borrowing capital, everyone can not do so. Therefore colonizing America in its natural state is very important in Locke's theory of civil society of mono autonomous proprietors.
