The long eighteenth century is a crucial period in the history of
ethics, when our moral relations to God, ourselves and others were
minutely examined and our duties, rights and virtues systematically
and powerfully presented. Colin Heydt charts the history of
practical morality - what we ought to do and to be - from the
1670s, when practical ethics arising from Protestant natural law
gained an institutional foothold in England, to early British
responses to the French Revolution around 1790. He examines the
conventional philosophical positions concerning the content of
morality, and utilizes those conventions to reinterpret the work of
key figures including Locke, Hume, and Smith. Situating these
positions in their thematic and historical contexts, he shows how
studying them challenges our assumptions about the originality,
intended audience, and aims of philosophical argument during this
period. His rich and readable book will appeal to a range of
scholars and students.
