摘要

1687年牛顿原理的接受导致许多欧洲学者试图将他们的专业领域“数学化”。这种“数学化”的一个重要例子是爱尔兰-苏格兰哲学家弗朗西斯·赫奇森的作品，他是苏格兰启蒙运动的关键人物。本文旨在讨论赫奇森作品的数学方面及其对英国思想在随后几个世纪的影响，为数学与哲学之间的互动在整个时期的重要性提供一个恰当的例子。

Quantifying the Unquantifiable: the role of the mathematicisation of philosophy during the Scottish Enlightenment

The reception of Newton's Principia in 1687 led to the attempt of many European scholars to ‘mathematicise' their field of expertise. An important example of this ‘mathematicisation' lies in the work of Irish-Scottish philosopher Francis Hutcheson, a key figure in the Scottish Enlightenment. This essay aims to discuss the mathematical aspects of Hutcheson's work and its impact on British thought in the following centuries, providing a case in point for the importance of the interactions between mathematics and philosophy throughout time.
