SORU:

According to the Scottish Enlightenment, what is one other factor that is necessary to understand man and society besides reason?


CEVAP:

The Scottish Enlightenment, on the other hand, asserts that the reason alone will not be enough to understand man and society. Even trying to explain everything by reason will lead people to the wrong path. According to Francis Hutcheson, one of the most important names in the Scottish Enlightenment, people present some behavior even though they do not benefit from them. This holds forts other invisible factors besides reason are also effective in human life. The concept encountered here is “moral sense”. Hutcheson has argued that people are reconciled to some moral concepts, even though the rules are not written anywhere. This compromise is of human nature, as it has a universal character. Hence, there are some values and principles that cannot be explained by rational arguments in human nature.
