{"product_id":"the-scottish-enlightenment-9780862417383","title":"The Scottish Enlightenment","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Scottish Enlightenment is one of the great achievements of European  culture. In philosophy, law, economics, politics, linguistics and the  physical sciences, Scots were key players in changing the way the world  was viewed. And this explosion of activity still reverberates. It was  the age of David Hume, Thomas Reid and Adam Smith, of Adam Ferguson,  James Hutton and Sir John Sinclair. In his authoritative introduction,  Alexander Broadie emphasises not only the diversity of intellectual  discussion taking place in this small country located on the outer edge  of Europe, but also the European dimension of this Scottish movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter  the general introduction, the anthology is arranged thematically -  Human Nature, Ethics, Aesthetics, Religion, Economics, Social Theory and  Politics, Law, Historiography, Language and Science. These sections  gather together well-known and lesser-known writings of the time. Much  of the material has not been reprinted since the 18th century. Those  with an interest in the Scottish cultural tradition will find many  things to hold their attention in this unique book.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alexander Broadie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48281339461883,"sku":"9780862417383","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9780862417383_2a129247-6e54-4695-8848-558388ece987.jpg?v=1772483241","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/the-scottish-enlightenment-9780862417383","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
