A seminal figure in the Scottish Enlightenment, Hutcheson was the first man to lecture in Scots rather than Latin. It was Hutcheson who coined the phrase "greatest good for the greatest number". His intellectual influence extend to such major figures as Kant, Hume and Adam Smith. His other principal works include An Inquiry into the Original of our Ideas of Beauty and Virtue (1725), and System of Moral Philosophy (1755).

Hutcheson, Francis (1694-1746), British philosopher, born in County Down, Ireland, and educated at the University of Glasgow, Scotland. After a short period of preaching as a Presbyterian minister, he opened a private academy in Dublin in 1719. Here he wrote the works on which his reputation is based, notably Inquiry Concerning Beauty, Order, Harmony, and Design (1725), Inquiry Concerning Moral Good and Evil (1725), Essay on the Nature and Conduct of the Passions and Affections (1728), and Illustrations upon the Moral Sense (1728). In 1729 he returned to Glasgow to assume the post of professor of moral philosophy at the university and remained there until his death.
