This volume expounds the influence of Robert Burns's reading of
Philosophy on his life and work, supplementing this with his
personal encounters with those philosophers he met. The work begins
with the Homespun Philosophy of his early years under the tutelage
of William Burnes and John Murdoch, then examines in detail some of
the texts of John Locke, Adam Smith and Francis Hutcheson,
including other writers who reflect Hutcheson's thinking. Further
chapters include the exploration on Thomas Reid, Dugald Stewart,
Archibald Alison and William Greenfield. Robert Burns and the
Philosophers does not purport to be a work of philosophy but rather
to show the poet's reaction to the subject and the development of
his understanding. This work opens up a subject that hitherto has
been almost unexplored.
