In 1761, George III commissioned a large group of philosophical instruments from the London instrument-maker George Adams. The purchase sprang from a complex plan of moral education devised for Prince George in the late 1750s by the third Earl of Bute. Bute’s plan applied the philosophy of Frances Hutcheson, who placed ‘the culture of the heart’ at the foundation of moral education. To complement this affective development, Bute also acted on seventeenth-century arguments for the value of experimental philosophy and geometry as exercises that habituated the student to recognizing truth, and to pursuing it through long and difficult chains of reasoning.

  • The Misunderstood Philosophy of Thomas Paine
    THE MISUNDERSTOOD PHILOSOPHY OF THOMAS PAINE A Thesis Presented to The Graduate Faculty of The University of Akron In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of History Jason Kinsel December, 2015 THE MISUNDERSTOOD PHILOSOPHY OF THOMAS PAINE Jason Kinsel Thesis Approved: Accepted: ______________________________ _____________________________ Advisor Dean of the College Dr. Walter Hixson Dr. Chand Midha ______________________________ ______________________________ Faculty Reader Dean of the Graduate School Dr. Martino-Trutor Dr. Chand Midha ______________________________ ______________________________ Department Chair Date Dr. Martin Wainwright ii ABSTRACT The name Thomas Paine is often associated with his political pamphlet Common Sense. The importance of “Common Sense” in regards to the American Revolution has been researched and debated by historians, political scientists, and literary scholars. While they acknowledge that Paine’s ideas and writing style helped to popularize the idea of separation from Great Britain in 1776, a thorough analysis of the entirety of Paine’s philosophy has yet to be completed. Modern scholars have had great difficulty with categorizing works such as, The Rights of Man, Agrarian Justice, and Paine’s Dissertation on First Principles of Government. Ultimately, these scholars feel most comfortable with associating Paine with the English philosopher John Locke. This thesis will show that Paine developed a unique political philosophy that is not only different from Locke’s in style, but fundamentally opposed to the system of government designed by Locke in his Second Treatise of Government. Furthermore, I will provide evidence that Paine’s contemporary’s in the American Colonies and Great Britain vehemently denied that Paine’s ideas resembled those of Locke in any way.

Ideas, transfers, circles, attitudes, practices Christophe Madelein The papers in this issue of De Achttiende Eeuw were presented at a conference organized in Ghent on 22 and 23 January 2010 by the Werkgroep Achttiende Eeuw and called Enlightenment? Ideas, transfers, circles, attitudes, practices. Its starting point was the persistent political and public interest in the classic question ‘What is Enlightenment?’ It is a question that has riddled scholars from the late Enlightenment itself to the late twentieth century, and, indeed, our own day. Kant famously defined Enlightenment as mankind's emergence from self-imposed Unmündigkeit1, while his contemporary Moses Mendelssohn - in a very similar vein - stressed the search for knowledge as a defining characteristic.2 Closer to our own times Michel Foucault suggested - again, not all that differently from Kant's and Mendelssohn's interpretations - that we may envisage modernity, which he sees as the attempt to answer the famous question, as an attitude rather than as a period of history.3 Modernity, in this sense, is accompanied by a feeling of novelty and, more importantly, Enlightenment entails a permanent critique of our historical era. This critical attitude is expressed in a series of practices that are analysed along three axes: the axis of knowledge, the axis of power, the axis of ethics.

  • Research Resources in the University of Glasgow for Adam Smith and the Scottish Enlightenment
    Research Resources in the University of Glasgow for Adam Smith and the Scottish Enlightenment April 2009 Research Resources in the University of Glasgow for Adam Smith and the Scottish Enlightenment This is a guide to the archives, manuscripts and printed books held by the University of Glasgow relating to major figures of the Scottish Enlightenment. It is presented as a handlist that details the most significant resource material arranged by person. The resources for Adam Smith are listed first, followed by other Enlightenment figures in alphabetical order. Details of any connections with the University of Glasgow are also given at the beginning of each entry. The aim of this list is to highlight the wealth of research material available at the University of Glasgow. However, it has been impossible to be totally comprehensive and the list is necessarily selective. Our holdings may be explored further from the Archives and Special Collections websites: Archives Services: http://www.gla.ac.uk/services/archives/ Special Collections: http://special.lib.gla.ac.uk/index.html Please refer to Special Collections manuscripts catalogue (http://special.lib.gla.ac.uk/manuscripts/search/) and main library catalogue (http://eleanor.lib.gla.ac.uk/search~S0/) for further details and comprehensive holdings. Nearly 100 items of relevance from our collections are described in a web exhibition: Scottish Thought & Letters in the Eighteenth Century: http://special.lib.gla.ac.uk/exhibns/scottish/index.html and over 60 images of Smith documents in a web exhibition: Smith in Glasgow http://www.gla.ac.uk/services/archives/exhibitions/smith NB. for the printed books, only pre-1850 printed editions are listed where the figure is the author (ie not those books where figure is the subject).

  • Introduction “Te Commerce of Life”: Elizabeth Montagu (1718–1800)
    introduction “Te Commerce of Life”: Elizabeth Montagu (1718–1800) Nicole Pohl Tere is a much higher character than that of a wit or a poet, or a savant, which is that of a rational and sociable being, willing to carry on the commerce of life with all the sweetness and condescension decency and virtue will permit.1 John Doran’s characterization of Elizabeth Montagu aptly reflects her multifaceted and versatile role in eighteenth-century society. Montagu was and still is known as a prominent author, critic, patron, businesswoman, and salonnière. Trough birth, friendship, and marriage she was part of and, at times, the center of important political, literary, and social crosscutting networks that connected the public sphere and the court. She corresponded extensively with leaders of British Enlightenment coteries, such as Edmund Burke, Gilbert West, David Garrick, and Horace Walpole, as well as the Bluestocking inner circle—Elizabeth Carter, Sarah Scott, Hannah More, Hester Trale Piozzi, Frances Burney, Anna Laetitia Barbauld, Elizabeth Vesey, and Frances Boscawen. Her vast correspondence (ca. 8,000 extant letters) is now collected in various archives and private collections across the U.K. and the United States; only a few of these have been printed, ofen in heavily edited versions.2 With such wealth of epistolary material, it is not surprising that her letters 1.

A number of letters are housed at the British Library, London, the Bodleian Library, Oxford, university libraries at Aberdeen, Manchester, Nottingham, the Lewis Walpole Library at Yale University, Cornell University, the Houghton Library at Harvard, and at Princeton, with some letters in private archives, such as the Longleat archive, Warminster.
