Francis Hutcheson: His Life, Teaching, and Position in the History of Philosophy - Paperback

by William Robert Scott (Author)

"W. R. Scott's book was a pioneering effort, not only in the study of Hutcheson but of the Scottish Enlightenment, a term that he is thought to have launched. In his work on Hutcheson, as in that on Adam Smith, Scott set a new standard for documentation that became the starting point for most subsequent work on the biographical and broader context for Hutcheson's thought. The book remains the only book-length study in English of Hutcheson's life and work as a whole." --Knud Haakonssen
