Adam Ferguson and the Idea of Civil Society: Moral Science in the Scottish Enlightenment - Edinburgh Studies in Scottish Philosophy

Craig Smith explores Ferguson's thought and examines his attempt to develop a genuine moral science and its place in providing a secure basis for the virtuous education of the new elite of Hanoverian Britain. The Ferguson that emerges is much closer to the mainstream of the Scottish Enlightenment than previous studies have suggested.
