Outline of Final Research Achievements

I have dealt with the question whether or not and how the Romantic critic/essayist William Hazlitt's theory of disinterested imagination, which was demonstrated in his philosophical book "An Essay on the Principles of Human Action," was indebted to British Enlightenment and in what way his argument differed from it. It has become clear that his belief in natural disinterestedness of human mind or sympathetic imagination is in the tradition of Scottish moral philosophy such as philosophies of Shaftesbury, Hutcheson and Adam Smith, but his argument is based on a different and quite unique theory about the function of imagination which finds no difference between the interests of the future self and those of others.
