Description

An introduction to the history of English morphology.

Examines Adam Ferguson's philosophy, political theory and social thought in the context of the Scottish Enlightenment. Explores Ferguson's examines attempt to develop a genuine moral science that combined empirically based social theory with normative moralising. Presents a new, revisionary account of Ferguson: 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.
