D. A. Leighton September 2003 The placing of the history of Enlightenment ideas and their implications in a wider social context has been an important characteristic of Enlightenment studies for some time. This thesis offers John Galt, the early nineteenth-century Scottish historical novelist, as an example of this wider reception of the Enlightenment. It investigates his novels and gives an account of Galt’s attitudes to the ideas of his times, on the historical, socio-political and other matters. It returns the novels to their immediate Scottish intellectual and cultural contexts, speaking of Galt’s Greenock, contemporary Scottish literary circles and London politics, all of which played important parts in Galt’s formation. His works are interesting in showing a belief in the expediency of reason, learning and the possibility of human progress within an organic society and history, placing an emphasis on Divine Providential as the ground of a universal system. Galt supported progress, in so far as it brought advance of a merely practical nature; but he reached back to the moral values of the past as the true guides to living. iii The thesis delineates Galt’s ideas as composite, melding together traditional and new liberal/conservative notions. Thus a progressive understanding of history became, in the hands of Galt, a major element of his conservative stance in relation to radical reform and change. Using some contemporary theories such as historical inevitability and stadialism, he constructed a Scottish identity which highlighted the Calvinist traditions of the Lowlands. In brief, with Galt the dichotomy between Enlightenment and Counter- Enlightenment was disappearing. Keywords: John Galt, Enlightenment, Historiography, Scottish Enlightenment, Covenant, Historical Novel iv ÖZET JOHN GALT‘IN TARİHİ: AYDINLANMANIN PEŞİNDEN GEÇMİŞ VE BUGÜN Özlem Çaykent Doktora, Tarih Bölümü Tez Yöneticisi: Dr. C. D. A. Leighton Eylül 2003 Aydınlanma fikirlerinin daha geniş bir çerçevede incelenmesi bir süredir gelişmekdedir. Bu tez, aydınlanma fikirleri ve bu fikirlerin daha geniş sosyal çerçevedeki etkilerininin araştırmasından yola çıkarak, erken ondokuzuncu yüzyıl İskoç romancılarından John Galt örneğinini irdelemekdedir. Galt’ın kendi zamanının sosyopolitik ve entellektüel zeminlerdeki fikirleri karşısındaki tutumu ve tarih anlayışı tartışılmaktadır. Romanlarında uslup ve dili gerçekçi bir şekilde yansıtmayı seçen Galt, tarihsel kaçınılmazlık ve etajizm (stadiyalizm) gibi çağdaş teorileri kullanmış; aklın yararına, öğrenmeye ve organik bir toplum ve tarih içinde insanın ilerlemesinin olabilirliğine inanmıştır. İlerlemeyi pratik sonuçlara götürdüğü ölçüde desteklerken, ilahi öngörülü akıl yürütmeye ve evrensel sisteme vurgu yapmıştır ve sonuçta doğru yaşam rehberi olarak geleneksel presbiteryen ahlaki değerleri vurgulamıştır. Galt’ın eserleri geleneksel ya da yeni liberal muhafazakar fikirlerlerle, aydınlanma düşüncesini biraraya getirmesi açısından iletken özellik taşır. Aydınlanmanın ilerlemeci yaklaşımı Galt’ın ellerinde radikal reform ve değişime karşı temel dayanağı oluşturmuştur. Bu yaklaşım, yerel gelenekle Britanya geleneğini karşı karşıya v getirmeden kalvinist geleneği öne çıkaran bir Lowland İskoç kimliğiyle bağlanmıştır. Sonuçta, Galt’da aydınlanmacı-karşı aydınlanmacı ikiliği ortadan kalkmıştır. Anahtar Kelimeler: John Galt, Aydınlanma, Tarih Yazımı, İskoç Edebiyati, Akit, Tarihsel Roman vi Acknowledgements Certainly, those who are acquainted with a thesis project will know that it is more than simply the preparation of work for submission to receive a Ph.D. degree. Although it seems to be a job for one person, it requires many to bring it into being and it is sometimes easier to see the project as both a test of patience and a spiritual quest. For me the result was a personal achievement that reached beyond the topic itself. Indebted I am to many who helped me through it with their intellectual, psychological and material support. After my family, especially my mother and Merih, I have had the good fortune to have many beautiful friends: Özge and Ayşe, who many times, without complaint, listened to the errant speculations of my mind; Bahar and Akça, with whom I shared not only an office. Not to be forgotten are İskender, Semih Aksoy and Seher whose unfailing support in the most desperate hour of these years (when I lost my laptop). A special place in my acknowledgements goes to my dear friend Derya, who has been always, even in the worst times, there for me. Another of the great experiences with which this research provided me was the chance to go to Edinburgh in Scotland. Beyond its research facilities, it is a place that has fascinated me with its beauty and with the people I met there. Especially, I would like to thank to all my flatmates in Livingstone Place, friends in Edinburgh who made it my second home and life enjoyable. For many evenings of exhausting days I sat in the kitchen over a bottle of wine with Maysan and Victoria, who amazed me with their vii endurance in listening to and reading the results of my research. I received many useful pieces of advice from members of Edinburgh University, notably Nicholas Phillipson. I would also very much like to thank Robert Irvine for his friendship and encouragement. I express my gratitude to Cadoc Leighton, my supervisor throughout the years at Bilkent University. It has been years of study, both Masters and Ph.D., through both difficult and nice times, but surely I have learned a few things. Special thanks to the other members of my thesis supervision committee, Anthony Lake and David Thornton, who have been greatly supportive with their readings and comments on various drafts. And to Paul Latimer and Oktay Özel I thank especially for their trust, friendship and support throughout the years. And lastly I have to thank the friendly and helpful staff of the National Library of Scotland, who helped me through many manuscripts; Bilkent Library; the Mitchell Library; Edinburgh University Library, the British Library and the Bodleian Library in Oxford. I am also grateful for the economic support of the Department of History, Bilkent University, without which the research would have not been possible. viii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT iii ÖZET v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS vii TABLE OF CONTENTS ix ABBREVIATIONS xi CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION John Galt and the Scottish Enlightenment: Sciences of Man 1 1.1 John Galt 1 1.2 The Scottish Enlightenment: the Science of Man 10 1.2.1 Reason and Morality 15 1.2.2 Acumulative Forces in History 23 1.3 Galt and Context 26 CHAPTER 2 Literature on Galt: Galt and His Critics 33 2.1 Galt’s Reception During His Lifetime 37 2.2 Galt and the Kailyard: approaching the Twentieth Century 47 2.3 Galt in the First Half of the Twentieth Century 55 2.4 Contemporary Galt Critics 64 CHAPTER 3 The Making, Prime and Death of Mr. Galt 75 3.1 The Making of a Character 78 3.2 Prime 102 3.3 Death 115 CHAPTER 4 Conservativism and Enlightenment: Dichotomies? 118 4.1 Politics and Galt 118 4.2 Political Economy and Stadialism 124 4.3 Law, Society and Social Order 135 4.4 Reform in Penal Law 138 4.5 Crime, Sin and Punishment 143 CHAPTER 5 The Historical Novel and History Writing 152 5.1 Historical Writing and the Novel 153 5.2 Mannerism and Propriety 166 5.3 Authorial Voice and Historical Source 178 ix CHAPTER 6 The Covenant Revisited: Enthusiasm, Choice and Inevitability 189 6.1 Ringan Gilhaize and Old Mortality 190 6.2 Inevitability and Historicism 196 6.3 The Long Reformation and the Covenant 208 6.4 Justification of Resistance 215 6.5 The Radicalisation of Ringan 218 CHAPTER 7 Change, Stages and Society 226 7.1 Progress of Commerce and Transition 229 7.2 Classes 235 7.3 Improvement 238 7.4 Cities, Towns and Parishes 240 7.5 Religion 242 7.6 Bad and Good Effects of Progress 246 7.7 The Colonies and the Levant 251 CHAPTER 8 CONCLUSION John Galt: a Perception of the Scottish Enlightenment Views and History 259 BIBLIOGRAPHY 265 APPENDICES 295 Appendix 1 A chronology of John Galt’s Life and Some Highlights of His Period 295 Appendix 2 a.

    Who Is Ayn Rand? Ayn Rand Few 20th century intellectuals have been as influential—and controversial— as the novelist and philosopher Ayn Rand. Her thinking still has a profound impact, particularly on those who come to it through her novels, Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead—with their core messages of individualism, self-worth, and the right to live without the impositions of others. Although ignored or scorned by some academics, traditionalists, pro- gressives, and public intellectuals, her thought remains a major influence on Ayn Rand many of the world’s leading legislators, policy advisers, economists, entre- preneurs, and investors. INTRODUCTION AN Why does Rand’s work remain so influential? Ayn Rand: An Introduction illuminates Rand’s importance, detailing her understanding of reality and human nature, and explores the ongoing fascination with and debates about her conclusions on knowledge, morality, politics, economics, government, AN INTRODUCTION public issues, aesthetics and literature. The book also places these in the context of her life and times, showing how revolutionary they were, and how they have influenced and continue to impact public policy debates.

  • A Soldier Fights for Three Separate but Sometimes Associated Reasons: for Duty, for Payment and for Cause
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stirling Online Research Repository The press and military conflict in early modern Scotland by Alastair J. Mann A soldier fights for three separate but sometimes associated reasons: for duty, for payment and for cause. Nathianiel Hawthorne once said of valour, however, that ‘he is only brave who has affections to fight for’. Those soldiers who are prepared most readily to risk their lives are those driven by political and religious passions. From the advent of printing to the present day the printed word has provided governments and generals with a means to galvanise support and to delineate both the emotional and rational reasons for participation in conflict. Like steel and gunpowder, the press was generally available to all military propagandists in early modern Europe, and so a press war was characteristic of outbreaks of civil war and inter-national war, and thus it was for those conflicts involving the Scottish soldier. Did Scotland’s early modern soldiers carry print into battle? Paul Huhnerfeld, the biographer of the German philosopher and Nazi Martin Heidegger, provides the curious revelation that German soldiers who died at the Russian front in the Second World War were to be found with copies of Heidegger’s popular philosophical works, with all their nihilism and anti-Semitism, in their knapsacks.1 The evidence for such proximity between print and combat is inconclusive for early modern Scotland, at least in any large scale. Officers and military chaplains certainly obtained religious pamphlets during the covenanting period from 1638 to 1651.

  • 2019 Atlas Shrugged Winning Essay
    2019 ATLAS SHRUGGED WINNING ESSAY FIRST PLACE Sam Weaver, Sarasota, FL — St. John’s College, Annapolis, Maryland Atlas Shrugged is a story that portrays a dramatic conflict of characters and their values. What is the most significant conflict in the story? Is it the conflict between the creators and the looters? Is it the conflict the creators experience in their own souls? Is it something else? Explain your answer. THE POWER THEY PROVIDE IT: THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND THE CENTRAL CONFLICT OF ATLAS SHRUGGED First-time readers of Ayn Rand’s novel Atlas Shrugged are likely to notice early on the conflict between two main types of characters: the creators, who work to achieve and produce values, and the looters, who do not produce and instead seek to take values from others. There is a sense in which the clash between these two groups is the essential conflict in the novel: They represent two fundamentally opposing approaches to life. However, the plot structure of Atlas Shrugged is designed to turn most crucially on another conflict: the conflict within souls of the creators, who are faced with the dilemma of deciding how to act in a world heavily populated by looters. By placing this dilemma as the central conflict in the novel, Rand illustrates in dramatic concrete events the implications of her crucial moral principle that evil has only the power the good provides it. The plot structure of Atlas Shrugged is complex, but a single action functions as the prime mover of all the rest: John Galt’s strike of the creators.

Constable Ltd. for the Scottish History Society 1935 Printed in Great Britain PREFACE The Letters printed in this volume are preserved in the archives of the City of Edinburgh. Most of them are either written by or addressed to Sir George Warrender, who was Lord Provost of Edinburgh from 1713 to 1715, and who in 1715 became Member of Parliament for the City. They are all either originals or contemporary copies. They were tied up in a bundle marked ‘ Letters relating to the Rebellion of 1715,’ and they all fall within that year. The most important subject with which they deal is the Jacobite Rising, but they also give us many side- lights on Edinburgh affairs, national politics, and the personages of the time. The Letters have been transcribed by Miss Marguerite Wood, Keeper of the Burgh Records, who recognised their exceptional interest. Miss Wood has placed her transcript at the disposal of the Scottish History Society. The Letters are now printed by permission of the Magistrates and Council, who have also granted permission to reproduce as a frontispiece to the volume the portrait of Sir George Warrender which in 1930 was presented to the City by his descendant, Sir Victor Warrender, Bt., M.P.

  • Edward Irving
    Edward Irving: Romantic Theology in Crisis Peter Elliott Edward Irving: Romantic theology in crisis Peter Elliott BA, BD, MTh(Hons.) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology of Murdoch University 2010 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. …………………… Peter Elliott Abstract In 1822 a young Church of Scotland minister named Edward Irving accepted a post in London and quickly attracted wide upper-class support. He numbered amongst his friends and admirers the political historian Thomas Carlyle and the Romantic poet-philosopher Samuel Taylor Coleridge. During the next decade, Irving developed views and practices that could be described as millenarian and proto- pentecostal; his interest in prophecy grew and his Christology became unorthodox. He was ejected from his church and hundreds followed him to begin a new group. Within a short period of time, he was relegated to a subordinate position within this group, which later became the Catholic Apostolic Church. He died in 1834 at the age of 42. This paper examines Irving’s underlying Romanticism and the influences on him, including his complex relationships with Carlyle and Coleridge, and then demonstrates how his Romanticism informed all of his key theological positions, often in tension with the more established Rationalism of the time. In ejecting Irving from his pastorate, the Church of Scotland officials were rejecting his idealistic and Romantic view of Christianity. It was this same idealism, with reference to the charismata, that alienated Irving from a senior role in the nascent Catholic Apostolic Church.
