Description

Explore the foundational ideas of the Scottish Enlightenment with Thomas Reid on Practical Ethics. This Edinburgh Edition brings together essential lectures and papers that define Reid's contributions to moral philosophy. As a contemporary of David Hume and Adam Smith, Reid played a major role in the intellectual landscape of the 18th century. This volume covers a wide range of philosophical topics, including natural religion, self-government, natural jurisprudence, and the law of nations. It provides a deep look into the system of natural law and rights that Reid taught after succeeding Adam Smith as professor of moral philosophy in Glasgow in 1764. Readers will find a detailed examination of practical ethics, drawing from the traditions established by Francis Hutcheson. This book is an important resource for students and scholars interested in Protestant natural law and the historical development of ethics and politics during the early modern period.
