The Elements of Social Order
This paper aims to integrate themes taken from Francis Hutcheson, Adam Ferguson and John Millar into a unified normative/explanatory conception of the essential elements of social order. Hutcheson invokes the phenomenon of natural sociability to counter Hobbesian egoism. Ferguson’s Essay on the History of Civil Society identifies the role that natural animosity plays in determining political identity. Taken together, these contrasting natural inc…

Theological Empiricism, Natural Science and Sacred Art
Theological empiricism is the view that knowledge of God must ultimately rest on human experience. This puts it in opposition to theologies that rely exclusively on conceptual analysis and biblical revelation, or some combination of the two. Theological empiricism is not new. It has forerunners in the natural theology of the 18th century, and the appeal to feeling and intuition characteristic of some 19th-century theologians. What is new is the c…
Scottish Philosophy in America
This paper highlights a notable deficiency in recent histories of philosophy in America, namely their neglect of the substantial contribution that Scottish philosophers made to philosophical thought in America both before and after the Revolution. This neglect, it is argued, can be explained by the contempt with which the ‘Scottish School of Common Sense’ came to be regarded, and which is reflected in earlier histories. The paper lays out the gro…
Environmentalism as Religion
Many Judeo-Christians have seen environmental concerns as a way of renewing the contemporary relevance of the doctrine of Creation. This article argues that, set against the decline of Christianity in the Western world, modern environmentalism is a rival, not an ally, to Judeo-Christianity. While its basic thought patterns replicate five key religious motifs—the existence of the sacred, sin and repentance, prophetic warning, the wisdom of sacrifi…
Scottish Philosophy after the Enlightenment
This book is a set of interrelated, but relatively free-standing essays studying the Scottish philosophical tradition in the 19 th and early 20 th centuries. The opening essay addresses the relation between philosophy and the history of ideas. Subsequent chapters focus on principal figures such as Sir William Hamilton, J F Ferrier, Alexander Bain, Thomas Carlyle, Andrew Seth Pringle-Pattison, Alexander Campbell Fraser and John Macmurray. Less pro…
Scottish Philosophy after the Enlightenment
Thomas Carlyle and the Philosophy of Rhetoric
Thomas Carlyle was educated in Scotland and subsequently became one of the intellectual and cultural giants of 19 th century Britain. His influence straddled philosophy, history and literature. This chapter addresses the question of how his work is best categorized. It argues that interesting light can be thrown on this issue by placing Carlyle within an intellectual trajectory that increasing differentiated between philosophical rhetoric and the…
Scottish Philosophy after the Enlightenment
Highlights the continued flourishing of Scottish philosophy after the Scottish Enlightenment by exploring the work of underappreciated figures and themes Engages with philosophical issues including the science of human nature, realism versus idealism, the relation of metaphysics and psychology, the impact of evolutionary biology on religious thinking, and the recurrent debate between theism and agnosticism Draws attention to an important set of t…
Religion, Evolution and Scottish Philosophy
This paper explores developments in the defence of theism within Scottish philosophy following Hume's Dialogues and the advent of Darwinian evolutionary biology. By examining the writings of two nineteenth-century Scottish philosophers, it aims to show that far from Darwinian biology completing Hume's destruction of natural theology, it prompted a new direction for the defence of philosophical theism. Henry Calderwood and Andrew Seth Pringle-Patt…

Philosophy, Art, and Religion
At a time when religion and science are thought to be at loggerheads, art is widely hailed as religion's natural spiritual ally. Philosophy, Art, and Religion investigates the extent to which this is true. It charts the way in which modern conceptions of 'Art' often marginalize the sacred arts, construing choral and instrumental music, painting and iconography, poetry, drama, and architecture as 'applied' arts that necessarily fall short of the i…

Morality and Feeling in the Scottish Enlightenment
This paper argues that a recurrent mistake is made about Scottish moral philosophy in the 18th century with respect to its account of the relation between morality and feeling. This mistake arises because Hume is taken to be the main, as opposed to the best known, exponent of a version of moral sense theory. In fact, far from occupying common ground, the other main philosophers of the period—Hutcheson, Reid, Beattie—understood themselves to be en…

Art and Architecture
Although Marx himself had relatively little to say about art, there emerged from the general thrust of his ideas a conception of art that has continued to be influential and even prominent. This places art somewhere between ‘science’—the recording and explanation of reality—and ‘ideology’—the framework of evaluative ideas that distorts and disguises reality in the economic and power interests of a ruling class. On this conception, art, unlike ide…

Furthermore, attempts to resolve this tension by showing that democracy is a good thing in its own right, or that it is the inevitable development of liberal aspirations, or that it is conce…
