The Light of Nature Pursued.

1768150964London: Printed by T. Jones & W. Oliver 1768 & 1777. The complete set of an influential philosophical work First edition a complete set of Tucker's magnum opus which outlined a vast and idiosyncratic philosophical system and which had a noted influence on his philosophical contemporaries. The set pairs the five volumes he published in 1768 with the four-volume continuation posthumously published in 1777 uniformly bound in contemporary calf and very scarce thus. "Although an occasionally eccentric and digressive text The Light of Nature Pursued enjoyed a high reputation from its first appearance. In the introduction to his Moral and Political Philosophy 1785 William Paley emphasized his deep indebtedness to Tucker in expounding his ethical theory. Paley considered Tucker to be a very original thinker. His work was also highly praised by Sir James MacIntosh who had used his ideas in his lectures on ethics. Mildmay had looked to MacIntosh to provide an introduction to his edition of the work but MacIntosh had been too busy to oblige. Hazlitt produced an abridged edition in 1807. Tucker's speculations also had some influence on Malthus whose family were resident in Surrey. Tucker's style is direct conversational and full of deliberately familiar metaphors and analogies. He was very much an amateur metaphysician and The Light of Nature Pursued is noticeably unsystematic and occasionally rambling in tone. His theory of consciousness and knowledge owes a great deal to John Locke though his speculations about the nervous system and the brain are closer to those of David Hartley whom he nevertheless disliked and whose theories he criticized" ODNB. The first five volumes were published under Tucker's pseudonym of "Edward Search" but his daughter Judith discarded this pseudonym when arranging the posthumous publication of the latter four volumes. Together 9 vols octavo 212 x 130 mm. Contemporary calf red morocco labels red speckled edges. Book label of bookseller and bibliographer John Stephens 1948-2006. Some slight wear around extremities occasional light foxing or worming but contents otherwise fresh; a nice set. ESTC T109651 & T153498. unknown
