Recenzii
'It is difficult to find a book on the Scottish Enlightenment that does not cite the work of Roger Emerson. Over the past three decades he has been an indefatigable archaeologist of the social frameworks that facilitated the ferment of knowledge not only in Scotland, but in all of Great Britain and its colonies. This book continues in the tradition of this fine corpus of scholarship.' ISIS 'Overall, Emerson, an eminent and respected scholar, has produced a valuable and informative contribution to the Enlightenment canon.' Journal of Irish and Scottish Studies 'Emerson’s compressed and pithy style packs immense substance into a modest number of pages. Some essays are rich in quantitative detail, others in pointed sententiae that will provoke and reward thoughtful consideration.' Hume Studies

Descriere
The Scottish Enlightenment was a period of intellectual and scientific progress in a country previously considered to be marginal to the European intellectual scene. This volume of essays considers a broad range of themes pertinent to the period, from the European Enlightenment and the Scots relation to it, to Scottish social history and its relation to religion, science and medicine.
