Purchase options and add-ons

The Scottish Enlightenment is one of the great achievements of European culture. In philosophy, law, economics, politics, linguistics, and the physical sciences, Scots were key players in changing the way the world was viewed; and this explosion of activity still reverberates. It was the age of David Hume, Thomas Reid, and Adam Smith, of Adam Ferguson, James Hutton, and Sir John Sinclair. In his authoritative introduction, Alexander Broadie emphasises not only the diversity of intellectual discussion taking place in this small country located on the outer edge of Europe, but also the European dimension of this Scottish movement. After the general introduction, the anthology is arranged thematically—Human Nature, Ethics, Aesthetics, Religion, Economics, Social Theory and Politics, Law, Historiography, Language, and Science. These sections gather together well-known and lesser-known writings of the time. Much of the material has not been reprinted since the 18th century. Those with an interest in the Scottish cultural tradition will find many things to hold their attention in this unique book.  Edited and Introduced by Alexander Broadie.

    This is a useful aid to deepen knowledge on The Scottish Enlightenment of the !8th Century as it gives extracts from the writings of the leading figures of the Enlightenment such as Adam Smith, David Hume, Thomas Reid and Dugald Stewart. The extracts give the essence of the philosophies of the leading writers mentioned above so that we can appreciate their contribution to their own times and to posterity.

    This is still a really important anthology for the Scottish Enlightenment and it has a great selection of texts included, not just from the big names. It also has very short biographies of many of the key figures at the back, which is useful. I don't find myself using it all the time, but when I do it is a great starting place as the introductions to each reading let you know what you're getting into.
