Adam Ferguson: History, Progress and Human Nature

Description

Th e writings of Adam Ferguson (1723–1816) off er insights into history, society
and politics, challenging us to reconsider our conceptions of human nature and to refl ect more deeply than we otherwise might on the moral demands of modernity.Renowned for his masterwork, An Essay on the History of Civil Society, Ferguson is also the author of political pamphlets, treatises of moral and political theory,a history of the Roman Republic and, late in life, numerous unfi nished essays.Infl uenced by the Stoics and by Montesquieu, among others, he was in steady engagement with (and was sometimes critical of ) contemporaries such as David Hume, Adam Smith and Th omas Reid. Not a formulaic thinker, Ferguson seeks to defend and articulate the institutions of liberty, while nonetheless reminding us of the call to lead good, rather than merely pleasurable, lives.
