Dugald Stewart's Empire of the Mind recasts the cultivation of a
democratic intellect in the late Scottish Enlightenment. It
comprises an intellectual history of what was at stake in moral
education during a transitional period of revolutionary change
between 1772 and 1828. Stewart was a child of the Scottish
Enlightenment, who inherited the Scottish philosophical tradition
of teaching metaphysics as moral philosophy from the tuition of
Adam Ferguson and Thomas Reid. But the Scottish Enlightenment
intellectual culture of his youth changed in the aftermath of the
French Revolution. Stewart sustained the Scottish school of
philosophy by transforming how it was taught as professor of moral
philosophy at the University of Edinburgh. His elementary system of
moral education fostered an empire of the mind in the universal
pursuit of happiness. The democratization of Stewart's didactic
Enlightenment-the instruction of moral improvement-in a
globalizing, interconnected nineteenth-century knowledge economy is
examined in this book.
