Scottish Philosophy in Its National Development (Classic Reprint) by Henry Laurie Pdf

Excerpt from Scottish Philosophy in Its National Development This work was originally intended to form one of a series, projected by Professor Knight of St. Andrews, on Philosophy in its National Developments. Though the idea of such a series has been abandoned, little excuse will, I hope, be required for the appearance of this volume. The philosophy of Scotland deserves, indeed, to be treated as a national development. Every philosophy is an expression of the spirit of its time; and the mental life of Scotland is clearly mirrored in its intellectual and moral philosophy. The Scotland which gave birth to men so diverse as John Knox and Robert Burns produced also David Hume, and Thomas Reid, and Sir William Hamilton; and its philosophies of scepticism and common sense, though influenced by the thought of other countries, have drawn their special sustenance from the national history and character.

The Scottish Philosophy by James McCosh Pdf

Excerpt from The Scottish Philosophy: Biographical, Expository, Critical, From Hutcheson to Hamilton The Scottish Philosophy possesses a unity, not only in the circumstance that its expounders have been Scotchmen, but also and more specially in its method, its doctrines, and its Spirit. It is distinguished by very marked and decided feat ures, which we may represent as determined by the bones rather than the flesh or muscles.

Selections from the Scottish Philosophy of Common Sense (Classic Reprint) by G. A. Johnston Pdf

Excerpt from Selections From the Scottish Philosophy of Common Sense Now, Locke's doctrine admitted Of two, and only two, answers. One Of these was given by Berkeley, and led to the scepticism Of Hume. The other was given by Reid. For Locke perception involves three elements: the percipient, the idea perceived, and the thing and it is assumed that the idea is somehow a copy Of the external reality. Both Berkeley and Reid saw clearly the difficulties Of the doctrine Of Representative Perception. If the mind is confined to its own ideas and is cut Off from immediate knowledge of the real world how is it to know if its ideas do or do not agree w1th things?

Scottish Philosophy by Andrew Seth Pdf

Excerpt from Scottish Philosophy: A Comparison of the Scottish and German Answers to Hume These Lectures - forming the first course were delivered towards the close of last session, and are now published substantially as they were then spoken. Some explanation of the reasons which dictated the choice of subject will be found in the opening of the first Lec ture. The mode of treatment followed must be left to justify itself. It was the desire of the founder of the Lectureship, and it has been mine also, that the Lectures should be a con tribution to philosophy, and not merely to the history of systems.

The Scottish Contribution to Moral Philosophy by James Seth Pdf

Excerpt from The Scottish Contribution to Moral Philosophy: Inaugural Lecture, October 21, 1898 Necessarily arises from seeing its proper object, a morally good character. 1 The very dis tinction between natural and moral good is that the one is pursued from interest or self-love, the other from disinterested love of the action itself.

Thomas Reid on Practical Ethics by Thomas Reid Pdf

The pervasiveness of Protestant natural law in the early modern period and its significance in the Scottish Enlightenment have long been recognised. This book reveals that Thomas Reid (1710-1796) - the great contemporary of David Hume and Adam Smith - also worked in this tradition. When Reid succeeded Adam Smith as professor of moral philosophy in Glasgow in 1764, he taught a course covering pneumatology, practical ethics, and politics. This section on practical ethics took its starting point from the system of natural law and rights published by Francis Hutcheson. Knud Haakonssen has reconstructed it here for the first time from Reid's manuscript lectures and papers, and it provides a considerable addition to our understanding not only of Reid but of the thought of the Scottish Enlightenment and of the education system of the time. The present work is a revised version of a work first published by Princeton University Press in 1990 which has long been out of print.

History of Scottish Philosophy by Alexander Broadie Pdf

Winner of the Saltire Society Scottish History Book of the Year 2009. Shortlisted for the Saltire Society Scottish Research Book of the Year 2009 This is the first-ever account of the full 700-year-old Scottish philosophical tradition. The book focuses on a number of philosophers in the period from the later-13th century until the mid-20th and attends especially to some brilliantly original texts. The book also indicates ways in which philosophy has been intimately related to other aspects of Scotland's culture. Among the greatest philosophers that Scotland has produced are John Duns Scotus, Francis Hutcheson, David Hume, Adam Smith and Thomas Reid. But there were many other fine, even brilliant philosophers who are less highly regarded, if they are noticed at all, such as John Mair, George Lokert, Frederick Ferrier, Andrew Seth, Norman Kemp Smith and John Macmurray. All these thinkers and many others are discussed in these pages. This clearly written and approachable book gives us a strong sense of the Scottish philosophical tradition.

The daily life of staff, professors, and students are recounted during times of turmoil and peace in Australia, including the depression of the 1890s and World War I. The account offers a window into the pedagogical conflicts and research achievements of one of Australia's oldest continuing educational institutions."

The Story of Scottish Philosophy by Daniel Sommer Robinson Pdf

Excerpt from The Story of Scottish Philosophy: A Compendium of Selections From the Writings of Nine Pre-Eminent Scottish Philosophers, With Biobibliographical Essays There is nothing local about philosophy. Wisdom transcends the barriers of nations, periods, tongues, and civilizations. Yet the history of thought defines some interesting configurations of ideas which are readily identified with times and places as well as with persons. Greek philosophy is a basic concept in intellectual history, and German philosophy has illustrated the interaction of language, locality, temper, and point of view along with various other cultural factors which give meaning to the term. Scotland provides a less-striking identity of thought and culture, since it is not unique in language, nor has it enjoyed the isolation characterized by certain other communities. Nevertheless, there is a definite and identifiable set of ideas, attitudes, and insights which are as Scottish as reformed theology, oatmeal, and certain potables. This Scottish Philosophy deserves a wider consideration in the intellectual market place, inasmuch as it bears on every phase of Western culture and exercises a substantial influence on contemporary affairs. It is most fortunate, therefore, that Professor Robinson has found time to bring the stalwart thinkers of that little island together in a single volume with selected writings from each. This is a distinct contribution to the great conversation. It is still more fortunate that a seasoned scholar has undertaken the selection. Criticism is the art of the mature and disciplined mind rather than the prerogative of an aspiring bright young pilgrim. Only the man who has long surveyed the clusters of thought which mark the intellectual adventures of mankind is able to see Scottish Philosophy in a world perspective of space and time. D. S. Robinson has a long and honorable career in study, teaching, and writing to draw from as he presents the best of Old Scotia. The best minds of more than half a century have been his intellectual companions for conversation, criticism, and debate.
