The second edition of this Companion presents a philosophical
perspective on an eighteenth-century phenomenon that has had a
profound influence on Western culture. A distinguished team of
contributors examines the writings of David Hume, Adam Smith,
Thomas Reid, Adam Ferguson and other Scottish thinkers. Their
subjects range across philosophy, natural theology, economics,
anthropology, natural science, and law and the arts, and in
addition, they relate the Scottish Enlightenment to its historical
context and assess its impact and legacy. The result is a
comprehensive and accessible volume that illuminates the richness,
the intellectual variety and the underlying unity of this important
movement. This volume contains five entirely new chapters on
morality, the human mind, aesthetics, sentimentalism and political
economy, and eleven other chapters have been significantly revised
and updated. The book will be of interest to a wide range of
readers in philosophy, theology, literature and the history of
ideas.
