This volume completes Isabel Rivers' widely acclaimed exploration
of the relationship between religion and ethics from the
mid-seventeenth to the later eighteenth centuries. She investigates
the effect of attempts to separate ethics from religion, and to
locate the foundation of morals in the constitution of human
nature. Focusing on moral philosophy and the educational
institutions in which (or in spite of which) these ideas were
developed, the book pays close attention to the movement of ideas
through the British Isles, in particular the spread of
Shaftesbury's thought from England to Ireland and Scotland, and the
varied reception of Hume's scepticism north and south of the
border. It also demonstrates the enormous influence of
Shaftesbury's moral thought and the ultimate triumph of the English
interpretation of Shaftesbury with the rise of Butler. Meticulously
researched and accessibly written, this volume makes a vital
contribution to our understanding of eighteenth-century thought.
