But there has been almost nothing on the philosophy of the intervening period. This book demonstrates that that silence is not due to Scots having nothing to say of philosophical interest during the period from 1600 to 1700, for they said a good deal then that merits the attention  of philosophers, and indeed also of historians, theologians, natural scientists and others. This book demonstrates that Scotland had a rich, vibrant, well-informed philosophical culture, and had Scotland lacked such a culture, the lack would have been a great obstacle to the emergence of the Scottish Enlightenment. Seventeenth-century Scottish philosophy is therefore of interest both in itself and in its implications for its successor.","brand":"Alexander Broadie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49114410483963,"sku":"9780906245538","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_f9cc7978-b440-41d0-84f6-d2c90fdb555b.jpg?v=1785312983","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/philosophical-discourse-in-seventeenth-century-scotland-key-texts-9780906245538","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
