The Cambridge Companion to the Scottish Enlightenment offers a
philosophical perspective on an eighteenth-century movement that
has been profoundly influential on western culture. A distinguished
team of contributors examines the writings of David Hume, Adam
Smith, Thomas Reid, Adam Ferguson, Colin Maclaurin and other
Scottish thinkers, in fields including philosophy, natural
theology, economics, anthropology, natural science and law. In
addition, the contributors relate the Scottish Enlightenment to its
historical context and assess its impact and legacy in Europe,
America and beyond. The result is a comprehensive and accessible
volume that illuminates the richness, the intellectual variety and
the underlying unity of this important movement. It will be of
interest to a wide range of readers in philosophy, theology,
literature and the history of ideas.
