Shaftesbury's "SUBLIME and BEAUTIFUL" Naturalism

Tony Lynch, Stephen Norris

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The 3rd Earl of Shaftesbury drew on the naturalism of Locke to open up a naturalistic reading of experience conceived as a matter of reality revealing pattern perception that was lost to view in the impact of subsequent idealist readings of Locke's epistemology offered by Bishop Berkeley (1685-1753) and David Hume (1711-1776). This essay recovers and explicates Shaftesbury's alternative to idealist conceptions of pattern making.
