Life Joseph Butler was born into a Presbyterian family at Wantage. He attended a dissenting academy, but then converted to the Church of England intent on an ecclesiastical career. Butler expressed distaste for Oxford's intellectual conventions while a student at Oriel College; he preferred the newer styles of thought, especially those of Locke, Shaftesbury and Hutcheson, leading Hume to characterize Butler as one of those "who have begun to put the science of man on a new footing, and have engaged the attention, and excited the curiosity of the public." . Butler benefited from the support of Samuel Clarke and the Talbot family. In 1719, Butler was appointed to his first job, preacher to the Rolls Chapel in Chancery Lane, London. Butler's anonymous letters to Clarke had been published in 1716, but a selection of his Rolls sermons (1726) was the first work published under his name. These sermons are still widely read and have held the attention of secular philosophers more than any other sermons in history. Butler moved north and became rector of Stanhope in 1725. Only at this point is his life documented in any detail, and his tenure is remembered mainly for the Analogy of Religion Analogy Butler has become an icon of a highly intellectualized, even rarefied, theology, "wafted in a cloud of metaphysics," as Horace Walpole said. Ironically, Butler refused as a matter of principle to write speculative works or to pursue curiosity. All his writings were directly related to the performance of his duties at the time or to career advancement. From the Rolls sermons on, all his works are devoted to pastoral philosophy.

Note from A Study Of Our Decline by Philip Atkinson Why Social Engineers Are Invariably Dangerously Wrong
A Warning From Joseph Butler The following is from " The Eighteenth Century Background " by Basil Willey (1940), the chapter entitled ' Butler As A Moralist greatest happiness ' of mankind. 'Some of great and distinguished merit' (Shaftesbury?), he writes, Three Sermons p 99 by Joseph Butler Why is the 'greatest happiness' principle (which for good utilitarians comprised the whole of the law and the prophets) a terrible mistake? Because, in Butler's view, we simply do not possess, in our present imperfect state, sufficient clairvoyance for us to be certain about the consequences of our actions, 'nor do we know what we are about, when we endeavour to promote the good of mankind in any ways but those he [God] has directed'. Shocking actions might be performed with a view to producing an overbalance of happiness. Such ultimate objectives as the happiness of mankind are beyond our limited scope, and we may easily, in attempting to pursue them, become moral monsters. Our safety lies in following the God-given instinct which condemns violence, injustice, and falsehood, and approves benevolence towards some (e.g. kindred, friends, or countrymen) rather than towards others; whereas with the more grandiose aims we may easily be led into perpetrating the former, and neglecting the latter. 'The happiness of the world', he concludes, 'is the concern of him who is the Lord and the proprietor of it'; our concern is only with conduct dictated by the sense of duty. Or as Dr Broad expresses it: God might be conceived to be a utilitarian 'were his moral character merely that of benevolence; yet ours is not so'. 'And though it is of course our duty,' Butler adds

    Butler, Joseph 1692-1752, English bishop and exponent of natural theology. Butler held a series of church offices, ending his career as bishop of Durham. His principle writings are Fifteen Sermons (1726), in which he set forth his moral philosophy, and The Analogy of Religion, Natural and Revealed, to the Constitution and Course of Nature (1736), aimed at combating the influence of deism in England. Both works became standard references in the education of Anglican and other clergy until the late 19th cent. In ethics, Butler was part of the 17th and 18th cent. attempt to find a foundation for morals without appeal to the divine will; he insisted on the complexity of human nature against one-sided accounts by Thomas Hobbes and Anthony Shaftesbury (see Shaftesbury, Anthony Ashley Cooper , 3d earl of). In his natural theology he attempted to show that revealed religion was no less probable than the limited affirmations made of God by the deists See studies by E. C. Mossner (1936, repr. 1971), A. E. Duncan-Jones (1952), and P. A. Carlson (1964).

    Butler, Joseph
    During the early stages of the Renaissance, when intellectuals (for example, Voltaire) aimed their critical disregard at the Church, several men wrote effectively against deism. Yet none of them proved more effective than Bishop Joseph Butler (1692-1752). His monumental work, The Analogy of Religion , virtually ended the debate for thinking people. Skirmishes continued for years, but after Butler it was clear that all the fundamental issues had been settled.

    Butler's Analogy
    Joseph Butler (1692-1752) wrote his infamous Analogy of Religion, Natural and Revealed, to the Constitution and Course of Nature , in 1736. Butler was born and educated in England as a Presbyterian but became ordained in the Church of England in 1718, and eventually became the Dean of St. Paul's Cathedral and later Bishop of Durham. He studied Locke, Shaftesbury, and Hutcheson, philosophers who all influenced his writing. In his Analogy , Joseph Butler discusses his views on morality, and how under normal circumstances, humans are designed to follow moral lives. The work impressed Hume and Wesley and became widely read first in Scotland during the end of the eighteenth century, and made its way to Oxford, and eventually spread to American universities and colleges during the early part of the nineteenth century when many such institutions were heavily influenced by Scottish philosophy. Dr. Benjamin Rush, one of Dickinson's founders, who was educated at Edinburgh University, certainly read the A nalogy when following a long career to the study of medicine and science, began later in life to search for a unity between nature and God. He found some answers to his questions in Butler's

    Department of Philosophy Spring 2002 71F5 Three Moralists: Butler, Mill and Nietzsche
    The unit will examine central themes in the work of Joseph Butler (1692-1752), J. S. Mill (1806-1873) and Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900). Since the time of Plato moral philosophers have been preoccupied with whether human beings are capable of leading virtuous lives. Butler, firmly rooted in Christian tradition, thinks that human nature is adapted to virtue, having been designed by a benevolent God. Mill aims to make his moral philosophy independent of any theology, but still considers whether a secular morality can satisfy our need for ‘grandeur of aspiration’. Nietzsche is contemptuous of traditional thinking about morality. He offers a diagnosis of the acceptance of traditional values which is not at all flattering to either Christian tradition or to the morality commonly espoused by secular moralists like Mill. Outcomes (1) knowledge and understanding of aspects of the work of Butler, Mill and Nietzsche linked to the themes indicated above
    (2) skill in reading historical texts
    (3) ability to think critically and independently about the set topics
    (4) ability to express oneself clearly on the set topics Reading The primary texts are: Joseph Butler - Five Sermons , (ed.) Stephen L. Darwall (Indianapolis, Ind.: Hackett Publishing Co., 1983) These were originally published in a collection of fifteen sermons, delivered before the Rolls Chapel.
