Joseph Butler
b. 5.18.1692 Wantage, Berkshire, England
d. 6.16.1752 Bath, Somerset, Great Britain
Butler was an English bishop, theologian, apologist and philosopher. He was born in Wantage in the English county of Berkshire (now Oxfordshire). He is known for his critique of Deism, Thomas Hobbes's egoism and John Locke's theory of personal identity.
Butler influenced many philosophers and religious thinkers. David Hume, Thomas Reid, Adam Smith, Henry Sidgwick, John Henry Newman and C. D. Broad were among them.
He is widely considered "as one of the preeminent English moralists. The introduction of probability to morality was novel. It reduced excesses associated with absolutism or universalism in metaphysics. It established the significance of conscience.
Wantage
Wantage is centrally located as a market town in the south of England. It was a small Roman settlement. The name may have been drawn from an Old English phrase meaning "decreasing river."
It was the birthplace of King Alfred in 849. It was in the king's ownership until Richard I (r.1189-1199) passed it to the Earl of Albemarle in 1190. Weekly trading rights were first granted to the town by Henry III (r.1216-1272) in 1246. Markets are now held twice weekly on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Windsor Castle is located in the same county.
Royalist troops were stationed in Wantage during the English Civil War.
Joseph Butler
Joseph Butler was born in Wantage on May 18, 1692. He was the son of a Presbyterian linen draper. He was destined for the ministry in that church. He entered Samuel Jones's dissenting academy at Gloucester (later Tewkesbury) along with the future archbishop Thomas Secker for that purpose.
He entered into a secret correspondence with the distinguished Anglican theologian and philosopher Samuel Clarke while he was there. He decided to enter the Church of England in 1714 and went to Oriel College, Oxford. He received his Bachelor of Arts in 1718 and later proceeded to Doctor of Civil Law on 8 December 1733.
Butler was ordained a deacon on 26 October 1718 by William Talbot, Bishop of Salisbury, in his palace chapel. He was ordained as a priest on 21 December 1718 by Talbot at St James's Church, Piccadilly. He became rector of the rich living of Stanhope, County Durham after holding various other high positions.
He was made the head chaplain of George II's wife Caroline on the advice of Lancelot Blackburne in 1736. He was nominated Bishop of Bristol on 19 October 1738 and consecrated on 3 December 1738 at Lambeth Palace chapel.
Against Egoism
Conscience is the guard against egoism. Probability is the guide to best choice.
Conscience has a unique authority among the principles belonging to human nature according to Butler. It should direct other principles. This is evident in the analogy with the civil constitution. Authority is proper to conscience and no other principle. Any ordinary reasonable person has a conscience and ought to obey it.
The term “conscience” was commonly employed in both theological and philosophical contexts. Shaftesbury identified it with reflective reason. It was also a legal term of art among the equity lawyers to whom Butler preached his sermons. It had the sense of acting minimally as an ordinary reasonable person would and maximally as a fully informed, ideal reasoner would in the legal context.
Butler makes an association between civil constitution and conscience. Constitutional expression was constructed in relation and in opposition to opinions about principles expressed in the bible. This was an indirect reference for him. When he was arguing against the deists he casually stated that nature is full of mysteries and cruelties.
Against Deism
Butler's Analogy was one of many book-length replies to the deists. It was long widely believed to be the most effective. He argued that nature itself was full of mysteries and shared the same alleged defects as the Bible. This was an argument for the use of reason with conscience. It did not throw the question of morality out of consideration.
He argued that all knowledge of nature and human conduct is merely probable on empiricist grounds. He then appealed to a series of patterns ("analogies") observable in nature and human affairs that make the chief teachings of Christianity “likely” as true in his judgment.
Were it not for the history of cruelty in punishment as affiliated with the doctrine for destruction, the statement regarding the cruelty of nature could pass as non-offensive. The legislature however has documented statements that affiliate civil authority with cruelty and violence. Said statements are rife with an egoism or deism that contradicts conscience.
Conscience for the group should not be confused with anything discriminatory, but there are those in social positions of responsibility who reduce professional judgment about policy to personal opinion devoid of concern for the welfare of the whole group, i.e. the public.
Butler died in 1752 at Rosewell House, Kingsmead Square in Bath, Somerset. His admirers praise him as a diligent and conscientious churchman who sought the best for his country.
