Isaac Watts byl vlivný anglický teolog a logik, který se stal známým jako „otec anglické hymnodie“.

Kromě své básnické tvorby Watts napsal také zásadní učebnici logiky, která se stala standardním textem na předních univerzitách a byla oceňována pro svou srozumitelnost a praktické rady pro kritické myšlení. Jeho práce pokrývaly teologické a filozofické otázky s důrazem na racionální zkoumání pravdy v náboženském i světském životě.
