Police said the recording was " inaudible ", but Hutcheson claimed the recording was audible.

On May 6, 1993 ( the day the murder victims were found ), Hutcheson took a polygraph exam by Detective Don Bray at the Marion Police Department to determine if she had stolen money from her West Memphis employer.

The first major philosopher of the Scottish Enlightenment was Francis Hutcheson, who held the Chair of Philosophy at the University of Glasgow from 1729 to 1746.

" The Scottish moral philosopher Francis Hutcheson, as a student at Glasgow, " was attracted most by Cicero, for whom he always professed the greatest admiration.

The first major philosopher of the Scottish Enlightenment was Francis Hutcheson, who held the chair of philosophy at the University of Glasgow from 1729 to 1746.

" Hutcheson was educated at Killyleagh, and went on to Scotland to study at the University of Glasgow, where he spent six years at first in the study of philosophy, classics and general literature, and afterwards in the study of theology, receiving his degree in 1712.

In 1729, Hutcheson succeeded his old master, Gershom Carmichael, in the Chair of Moral Philosophy at the University of Glasgow, being the first professor there to lecture in English instead of Latin.

Hutcheson was well regarded as one of the most prominent lecturers at the University of Glasgow in his day and earned the approbation of students, colleagues, and even ordinary residents of Glasgow with the fervour and earnestness of his orations.

This consideration could hardly escape any author, however wedded to his own system, and Hutcheson attempts to extricate himself from the difficulty by laying down the position that a man may justly regard himself as a part of the rational system, and may thus be, in part, an object of his own benevolence ( Ibid ),-- a curious abuse of terms, which really concedes the question at issue.

Locke does speak of God " annexing " certain ideas to certain motions of bodies ; but nowhere does he propound a theory so definite as that here propounded by Hutcheson, which reminds us at least as much of the speculations of Nicolas Malebranche as of those of Locke.

To say nothing of minor opponents, such as " Philaretus " ( Gilbert Burnet, already alluded to ), Dr John Balguy ( 1686 – 1748 ), prebendary of Salisbury, the author of two tracts on " The Foundation of Moral Goodness ", and Dr John Taylor ( 1694 – 1761 ) of Norwich, a minister of considerable reputation in his time ( author of An Examination of the Scheme of Amorality advanced by Dr Hutcheson ), the essays appear to have suggested, by antagonism, at least two works that hold a permanent place in the literature of English ethics — Butler's Dissertation on the Nature of Virtue, and Richard Price's Treatise of Moral Good and Evil ( 1757 ).

We thus see that, not only directly but also through the replies that it called forth, the system of Hutcheson, or at least the system of Hutcheson combined with that of Shaftesbury, contributed, in large measure, to the formation and development of some of the most important of the modern schools of ethics.

Norman Fiering, a specialist in the intellectual history of colonial New England, has described Francis Hutcheson as “ probably the most influential and respected moral philosopher in America in the eighteenth century .” Hutcheson's early Inquiry into the Original of Our Ideas of Beauty and Virtue, introducing his perennial association of " unalienable rights " with the collective right to resist oppressive government, was used at Harvard College as a textbook as early as the 1730s.

Francis Alison, the professor of moral philosophy at the College of Philadelphia, was a former student of Hutcheson who closely followed Hutcheson ’ s thought.
