This collection of 11 specially commissioned essays examines the transformative contribution of the Scottish Enlightenment to modernity by examining three central themes: the Scots’ pioneering conception of commercial society, the equally pioneering development of the Scots ‘science of human nature’ and the emergence of the modern political economy.
Craig Smith is Professor of the History of Political Thought in the School of Social and Political Sciences at The University of Glasgow.
