A History of Scottish Philosophy is a series of collaborative
studies by expert authors, each volume being devoted to a specific
period. Together they provide a comprehensive account of the
Scottish philosophical tradition, from the centuries that laid the
foundation of the remarkable burst of intellectual fertility known
as the Scottish Enlightenment, through the Victorian age and
beyond, when it continued to exercise powerful intellectual
influence at home and abroad. The books aim to be historically
informative, while at the same time serving to renew philosophical
interest in the problems with which the Scottish philosophers
grappled, and in the solutions they proposed. This new history of
Scottish philosophy will include two volumes that focus on the
Scottish Enlightenment. In this volume a team of leading experts
explore the ideas, intellectual context, and influence of
Hutcheson, Hume, Smith, Reid, and many other thinkers, frame old
issues in fresh ways, and introduce new topics and questions into
debates about the philosophy of this remarkable period. The
contributors explore the distinctively Scottish context of this
philosophical flourishing, and juxtapose the work of canonical
philosophers with contemporaries now very seldom read. The outcome
is a broadening-out, and a filling-in of the detail, of the picture
of the philosophical scene of Scotland in the eighteenth century.
