DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Alongside his highly acclaimed An Essay on the History of Civil Society (1767) - widely regarded as a foundational work in sociology - he wrote pamphlets on political issues, composed texts on moral and political philosophy, and published a multi-volume history of the Roman Republic. Distinguished by its combination of the moral and the historical, his work is framed within a teleological outlook that upholds the importance of action and virtue in the emerging commercial society of the eighteenth century."--BOOK JACKET.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAdam Ferguson, a friend of David Hume and Adam Smith, was among the leading Scottish Enlightenment figures who worked to develop a science of man. He created a methodology for moral science that combined empirically based social theory with normative moralising. He was among the first in the English-speaking world to make use of the terms civilization, civil society and political science. 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 far from the stereotyped image of a republican sceptical about commercial society and much closer to the mainstream of the Scottish Enlightenment and its defence of the new British commercial order.
