Published by Aberdeen University Press as a Daimond Open Access essay collection, this book emerges from a workshop held at the Research Institute of Irish and Scottish Studies.
The essays in this collection offer a reassessment of the Scottish Enlightenment philosopher, Adam Ferguson. Moving beyond a concentration on his early Essay on the History of Civil Society (1767), the book explores his experience as a teacher of moral philosophy, his political views in an Age of Revolution, and his historical treatment of the Roman Republic. It also offers an assessment of his intellectual influence and legacy.
