Özet:

 Francis Hutchesons d. 1746 idea of Christian Stoicism exerted a strong influence on Scottish moral philosophy and religion throughout the eighteenth century. Adam Ferguson 1723-1816 was one of the most enthusiastic advocates and full adherents of Hutchesons Christian-Stoic principles. He was a respected philosopher among his contemporaries, eighteenth-century philosophers and the literate public, a philosopher who has remained in the background today. Fergusons ideas had an undeniable influence on the next generation of intellectuals. The theological thinking of Ferguson has not been examined in detail in the article. The reason for this is that Ferguson has outlined his thoughts on these issues in general terms. It is an indisputable fact that it is Divine Providence and its nature that are at the base of his views and have influenced his thinking on many issues. In this study, after revealing what Fergusons thoughts on religion are in general, details on other theological issues will be addressed his views on other theological issues such as God, His attributes, proofs of Gods existence, the problem of evil, and the immortality of the soul.

 Francis Hutchesonın ö. 1746 Hıristiyan Stoacılığı düşüncesi, on sekizinci yüzyıl boyunca İskoç ahlaki felsefesi ve dini üzerinde güçlü bir etki yapmıştır. Hutchesona ait Hıristiyan-Stoacı ilkelerin en coşkulu savunucusu ve bu ilkeleri tam olarak benimseyenlerden biri de Adam Fergusondur 1723-1816. Ferguson, çağdaşları olan on sekizinci yüzyıl felsefecileri ve okuryazar halk arasında saygın bir konum kazanmış olmasına rağmen günümüzde geri planda kalmış bir filozoftur. Fergusonun fikirleri sonraki nesil entelektüeller arasında göz ardı edilemeyecek bir etkiye sahip olmuştur. Makalede Fergusonun sahip olduğu teolojik düşünce ince ayrıntılarına kadar incelenmeyecektir. Bunun sebebi Fergusonun bu konularda fikir belirtirken düşüncelerini genel hatları ile ortaya koymuş olmasıdır. Onun görüşlerinin temelinde olan ve birçok konudaki düşüncesini etkilemiş olan şeyin İlahi Takdir ve onun doğası olduğu tartışma götürmez bir gerçektir. Bu çalışmada Fergusonun din ile ilgili düşüncelerinin genel olarak neler olduğu ortaya koyulduktan sonra Tanrı, sıfatları, Tanrının varlığının delilleri, kötülük problemi, ruhun ölümsüzlüğü gibi diğer teolojik meselelerdeki detaylar ele alınacaktır.
