About the Book

A collection of ten specially commissioned essays addressing five themes central to any study of the Scottish Enlightenment: (1) the place (both physical and cognitive) of science and medicine in the Scottish Enlightenment; (ii) the institutionalisation of enlightenment in the universities; (iii) the cultivation of the different branches of 'the science of man' in the Scottish Enlightenment; (iv) the national and international contexts of enlightenment thought in Scotland; and (v) the historiography of the Scottish Enlightenment. Taking up these themes, the editor and contributors explore facets of enlightened culture in Scotland which have not been given their due in the literature, and reassess current interpretations of various aspects of the Scottish Enlightenment specifically and its relation to the European Enlightenment in general. Special emphasis is given to such major Scottish thinkers as Francis Hutcheson, George Campbell, Thomas Reid, and David Hume.

Review :
A rich volume. . . historiographically sophisticated and generous. . .This is mandatory starting point for anyone embarking on Scottish Enlightenment studies. Splendid collection, an appropriate testament to the richness of Emerson's scholarship. It offers a set of essays that each stands on its own but when taken together provide a superb exposition of leading themes in the study of the Scottish Enlightenment over the past few decades. 18C Handsome collection of essays. . . an excellent choice for a course on the Scottish Enlightenment. . . explores many of the issues that inform current historiography. [A] fine collection of essays. MEDICAL HISTORY, July 2003, 47 [3] . . . Wide-ranging and authoritative essays. . . His readings form an important contribution to the history of the novel, narrative theory, and the gender of writing. Focuses on the role of medicine in the Scottish Enlightenment. . . what emerges from these essays is a sense that eighteenth-century medicine was at an intersection between science and philosophy, and that training in it was an important part of how the Scottish Enlightenment travelled out of Scotland.
