Dugald Stewart was appointed assistant professor of mathematics in
the University of Edinburgh in 1772, aged only 19. He became one of
the most influential academics in the eighteenth- and
nineteenth-century European 'Republic of Letters.' Both Stewart's
contemporaries and modern scholars have recognised the impact his
influential figure had over many young minds. He was one of the
leading figures of the Scottish Common Sense school, a name by
which we are used to identifying the philosophical tradition headed
by Thomas Reid. The selection given here departs in some ways from
Stewart's own division of the subject, and aims to reflect the
logical priority of each discipline, a priority which Stewart
himself seems to give in the internal development of his 'system'.
