▼ This thesis is an analysis of the nature of scientific history in the late Scottish Enlightenment. Using Adam Ferguson's History of the Progress and the Termination of the Roman Republic (1799) as the main analytical framework, the thesis explores two fundamental questions: the consolidation of a scientific epistemology in the field of history and its role in shaping British politics during the Age of Revolutions. Still trying to navigate the new political realities of the Union of 1707, for philosophers of the Scottish Enlightenment such as Adam Ferguson the French Revolution posed a direct challenge to the commercial civilisation epitomised by modern Britain. Aiming to mirror the successful discoveries that empiricist methodologies had prompted in the field of natural philosophy, Ferguson set out to uncover the moral and political laws underpinning society. He turned to the history of the rise and fall of Roman Republic as his source material and elevated it to the status of universal tragedy. Ultimately, what Ferguson wanted was to provide the political class of modern Britain with a scientific-based model for discussion. Moreover, he claimed that Progress and Termination was intended as an impartial narrative for the wider civic community to articulate its national identity through a fact-based public debate and in the face of a new political era for modern Europe. This thesis examines the theory and practice behind this approach and demonstrates that the practice of philosophical history during the late Scottish Enlightenment cannot be understood without the development of a modern scientific epistemology. The thesis is divided into four chapters which focus on context, method, structure, and content of Progress and Termination. The first two chapters analyse the figure of the writer and that of the reader of history. They situate Ferguson's persona and work within the political and cultural contexts of late eighteenth-century Scotland. In doing so, they show how Ferguson's theory of history shaped his views of the civic function of historians and their readers within the modern political nation. Chapter three examines the structure of Progress and Termination through Ferguson's use of three different categories of historical time; it illustrates how Ferguson's use of time informed the political and moral message of his history. Finally, chapter four studies how the narrative of Progress and Termination allowed Ferguson to engage with the convulsive political landscape of post-1789 Europe and why he believed that his methodology could provide Britain with a solution to the challenges of modernity.

▼ This thesis will explore the complex relationship between Isaiah Berlin’s liberalism and his work in the history of ideas. While Berlin’s explicitly political thought reads like a scion of the Enlightenment, albeit with a pronounced Cold War inflection, his work in the history of ideas appears to indict the Age of Reason as partially responsible for the rise of totalitarianism. As a liberal thinker, therefore, Berlin seems Janus-faced. He appears to charge the Age of Reason with complicity in the rise of totalitarianism, yet continues to defend the most legitimate child of Enlightenment thought: liberalism in a negative form. As some of his critics have observed, notably Mark Lilla and Zeev Sternhell, Berlin seems intent on divorcing liberalism from the its foundation in the Enlightenment. This project, they are united in charging, is philosophically incoherent and politically ill-judged. The thesis will present an alternative reading of the relationship between Berlin’s liberalism and his intellectual history. Instead of interpreting Berlin’s turn to the Counter-Enlightenment as an assault on the Enlightenment and a blow against his own liberalism, his interpretation of the Counter-Enlightenment, especially the proto-fascist work of Joseph de Maistre, will be read as a search for a ‘lens’ with which to examine the nature of totalitarian thought. In this context, Berlin’s lengthy and neglected essay on Maistre is of greatest importance: the darkly prescient thought of the reactionary and ultramontane Savoyard – strikingly out of place in his own time, yet an intellectual contemporary of the twentieth century – provides an analytical ‘window’ onto the presuppositions and character of totalitarianism. Berlin’s turn away from the Age of Reason, therefore, is guided by an overarching methodological conviction: it is Maistre, rather than Voltaire, who is the better guide to the twentieth century’s most shockingly original contribution to political thought and practice, totalitarianism.

▼ John Wesley (1703-1791) was an Anglican priest who became the leader of Wesleyan Methodism, a renewal movement within the Church of England that began in the late 1730s. Although Wesley was not isolated from his enlightened age, historians of the Enlightenment and theologians of John Wesley have only recently begun to consider Wesley in the historical context of the Enlightenment. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the complex relationship between a man, John Wesley, and an intellectual movement, the Enlightenment. As a comparative history, this study will analyze the juxtaposition of two historiographies, Wesley studies and Enlightenment studies. Surprisingly, Wesley scholars did not study John Wesley as an important theologian until the mid-1960s. Moreover, because social historians in the 1970s began to explore the unique ways people experienced the Enlightenment in different local, regional and national contexts, the plausibility of an English Enlightenment emerged for the first time in the early 1980s. As a result, in the late 1980s, scholars began to integrate the study of John Wesley and the Enlightenment. In other words, historians and theologians began to consider Wesley as a serious thinker in the context of an English Enlightenment that was not hostile to Christianity. From a review of the historical literature, this dissertation details six links that scholars have introduced in their study of Wesley’s relation to the Enlightenment. However, the review also reveals two problems, one obstacle and one omission, that hinder new innovation and further study. Therefore, as a solution, this study introduces five lenses adapted from the recent scholarship of four historians and one historical theologian that provide new vantage points for considering the enlightenment of Wesley and Wesleyan Methodists, which together form the Wesleyan Enlightenment. Finally, based on the evidence gathered by using these new lenses, this study argues that because Wesley not only engaged the Enlightenment, but also addressed the spiritual needs and practical concerns of Wesleyan Methodists for more than fifty years in what he referred to as an enlightened age, John Wesley was a central figure in the eighteenth-century English Enlightenment.

▼ This dissertation uncovers an Enlightenment that occurred in Britain between 1720 and 1740, from the collapse of the South Sea Bubble to the War of Jenkin's Ear. It challenges the idea of a generic Enlightenment as ideological bedrock to a generic modernity. The event I describe was an extended, society-wide response to a particular manifestation of modernity: to the problems and tensions of commercial growth, metropolitan life, and political emancipation. It was non-specific to elite philosophical texts. The argument is anchored around fears of disordered bodies and bodies-politic as they shaped public debates over topics as diverse as medicine, bridge-building, grain distribution, and foreign policy. The five chapters progressively trace the transmutation of these fears, as manufactured and manipulated by the participants in these debates, into recognizably enlightened sensibilities. Ideals of equity, balance, and restraint deepened in response to visions of the fragile interdependence between peoples, states, cities, and rivers. Three of the Enlightenment's most critical ideals ? activity, happiness, and a skeptical pursuit of certainty ? evolved and converged as the pressures of metropolitan life exacerbated fears of the spleen. Similar anxieties catalyzed the articulation of secular sensibilities of restraint, calibrated by notions of alienation, individualism, self-control, concealment, sociability, and venting. The last two chapters focus upon the 1730s ? a decade distinguished by an exceptionally vibrant political public sphere. An enlightened commercialism was culturally entrenched as Opposition propagandists distortedly exploited fears of weakness and enervation ? fears that were rooted in the very commercialism they were so aggressively propagandizing. An interest and investment in thinking ? perhaps the most prized of all Enlightenment ideals ? deepened as the skullduggery and sloganeering that surrounded the excise crisis of 1733 and anti-Spanish agitation of 1738-9 generated anxieties about the supposedly weak minds of the political public. Cultures of urban consumption amplified these anxieties and, as a consequence, deepened the investment. Collectively, these chapters recreate an Enlightenment composed of a cacophony of alternative voices, which, disturbed by the excesses of modernity, or the exploitation of political freedoms, rallied different forms of restoration, transformation, and regeneration.

▼ The Government of the Senses is a study of how the changes in aesthetic culture that occurred in the wake of empiricism operated as regulating social processes. Tracking the rise of a new concern with tastefulness as well as various approaches to aesthetic detachment, I describe how these critical discourses translated into different styles of subjectification. Each chapter identifies figural representations in literature and visual culture that reflect what it felt like to participate in the new aesthetic culture. Chapter One describes the new interest in ideas of taste and “gust” in John Milton’s work and models of aesthetic detachment in John Dryden, showing how Lord Shaftesbury and Joseph Addison developed these models of aesthetic behavior into a comprehensive social program. Chapter Two argues for a continuity between the cultivation of pleasure in the Restoration libertine discourse of Lord Rochester and George Etherege and the eighteenth-century cultivation of aesthetic pleasures. I show the importance of the fop character type in the transition to socially acceptable enjoyments: at the center of ambivalence about cultural consumption, the fop is the first figure that condenses the experience of modern aesthetic subjectivity. Chapter Three follows the inner sense tradition, arguing that Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe narrates an aesthetic self-fashioning by testing the limits of detachment from social life. This wildly popular novel shows how culturally relevant the new aesthetic culture had become beyond the stratified elites. Chapter Four studies the emergence of a socially intelligible figure of the person of taste between Jonathan Richardson’s theory of connoisseurship and the major statements on the standard of taste in the 1750s. It shows that the methods, tensions, and models of authority associated with the new aesthetics were most fully exemplified in the literary career of Alexander Pope. Methodologically, this project studies the regulating effects of aesthetics using Michel Foucault’s late theory of “governmentality” and it describe aesthetics as a self-sustaining social process using the theory of Niklas Luhmann. The chapters also include discussions of the Cartesian theory of pleasure, Hobbesian psychology, the theory of the je ne sais quoi of Dominique Bouhours, the models of conduct in Baltasar Gracián and the Chevalier de Méré, John Locke on secondary qualities and self-education, inner sense theory in Ralph Cudworth and Francis Hutcheson, Adam Smith on self-regulation, William Hogarth on utility, and the theories of taste in Edmund Burke, Alexander Gerard, and David Hume. I show that the first phase of modern British aesthetics fashioned a coherent model for the conduct of conduct using the intensities of the sensitive body.

▼ This thesis explores German efforts during 1754-1800 to curb the suffering and death from smallpox, known as the Würgengel (murdering angel) for carrying so many innocent young children to Heaven. It focusses on the period immediately before the introduction of the safer cowpox vaccination, when the highly controversial prophylactic, inoculation, was used in Germany. Inoculation entailed the insertion of a small amount of human smallpox matter into the skin to produce a usually mild smallpox disease that prevented more severe smallpox in future. As the epitome of the rationalist ideology that man should take control of his own destiny and as a novel example of disease prophylaxis, inoculation was closely aligned with the Enlightenment. This thesis shows that enlightened German princes, nobles, and high-profile women encouraged inoculation, yet the princes’ deliberate initiatives to spread inoculation in their territories generally failed and the university-educated cohort of German society drove the efforts to promote the advantages of inoculation and encourage its use, in the face of many obstacles. The intelligentsia which sought to promote behaviours consistent with enlightenment ideology played a prominent role in that regard. Not only as commentators and public officials but also as owners and editors of the new kinds of general journals, and as reviewers, they encouraged a positive public attitude to inoculation. Poets and writers played their part by turning fictional as well as real women who chose inoculation to save their beauty or children from smallpox into ‘inoculation heroines’. Like-minded university professors taught their students about inoculation, and doctors encouraged the practice by reporting inoculation successes and by teaching surgeons the procedures. Many pastors promoted inoculation in their sermons and in articles in various kinds of general journals, in some cases engaging in inoculation themselves. Yet, despite the encouragement to adopt inoculation and concerted efforts to dispel the doubts about it, for myriad different reasons inoculation failed to gain popularity, particularly among the non-elite. Reminders that isolation measures had banished bubonic plague in earlier times fuelled a wave of utopian optimism in the 1790s that a reintroduction of such measures and a united effort could actually eradicate smallpox in the coming century which was being spruiked as a new age of peace and prosperity. The unrealistic goal of eradicating smallpox, considering the lack of new tools, was largely inspired by the revolutionaries in France casting aside the aristocratic governing class in 1789, demonstrating that seemingly impossible dreams could be achieved by a unity of purpose. This thesis shows the various ways in which the Enlightenment and other social, cultural, and political influences which pervaded Germany during the 1754-1800 period jointly shaped the approaches to combating smallpox by inoculation and other measures at that time.

▼ In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the European study of Arabic and of Islamic intellectual traditions transformed, with important consequences. For the first time, European scholars accurately translated the Qur'an, other religious writings, and ancient Arabic poetry. They also used native sources to study Islamic history. At the same time, many European writers, both Catholic and Protestant, developed a newly sympathetic view of Islam, portraying it as a plausible set of beliefs with many similarities to Christianity. To justify their newfound interest in Islam, they re-categorized Muslims from "heretics" to something akin to "good pagans," comparing them to the non-Christian thinkers of the Western tradition. At this time, Europeans relied upon Muslim commentaries to understand Arabic books, absorbing native interpretations. Drawing on research in seven countries and six languages, this thesis explains how Europeans came to understand Islamic letters at a time of intensified exchange between Europeans and Muslim peoples. It combines fine-grained analysis of individual episodes with attention to the period's broader intellectual transformations. "Islamic Letters in the European Enlightenment" identifies a distinctive epoch in Western views of Islam: a window of intensive scholarly engagement and greater sympathy that lasted from the final third of the seventeenth century to the middle of the eighteenth century. The knowledge elaborated in this era did not prevent a turn to a disparaging view of Islam and its peoples in the second half of the eighteenth century; on the contrary, even Arabic scholars of that period came to share it. Perhaps for this reason, the intellectual history reconstructed here has suffered neglect. Yet the fruits of the labors reconstructed here informed Western views of Islam and its traditions into the twentieth century. The chapters examine in succession: the collection of Islamic manuscripts; the first European "encyclopaedia" of Islamic letters, by Barthélemy d'Herbelot; the sympathetic reinterpretation of Islam in the early Enlightenment; the the Qur'an translations of Ludovico Marracci and George Sale; the first translations of pre-Islamic Arabic poetry; the place of Islamic civilization in Enlightenment views of world history; and the role of Arabic scholarship in the conquest of Egypt in 1798.

▼ This dissertation explores the conception of Jewish practice developed in the writings of Moses Mendelssohn (1729-1786). Although this eighteenth-century figure is often described as the "founder" of modern Jewish thought and as a leading philosopher of the late Enlightenment, considerable uncertainty continues to surround basic questions relating to his work. Such uncertainty is especially pronounced with respect to his treatment of Jewish practice, with influential readers expressing confusion regarding, and even doubting the possibility of reconstructing, the details of his views on Jewish law. Against this backdrop, I propose a new reading of Mendelssohn's work, arguing that we can better grasp his approach to Jewish practice if we attend to his conception of history – to his views on historical change and historical knowledge. More specifically, drawing on his well-known German writings, on his little-known Hebrew works, and on neglected developments in early modern thought, I argue that we should read Mendelssohn's conception of Jewish practice as a response to his views on the nature of history, and that such a reading can contribute to ongoing conversations about modernity and religion. One of Mendelssohn's central goals, I show, is to develop an account of Jewish practice capable of addressing perils grounded in history. His treatment of Jewish practice is animated by an effort to address an epistemological danger grounded in philosophical history, an ethico-political danger grounded in social history, and a textual danger grounded in the study of history – the danger that we will distort our religious beliefs as we confront the rise and fall of philosophical systems, the danger that a society will evolve in ways that threaten human flourishing and political harmony, and the danger that developments in biblical scholarship will undermine belief in the scriptural basis of Jewish law. Moreover, I suggest, this reading not only offers a new understanding of a foundational figure in modern Judaism, but also contributes to broader conversations in a variety of fields – to discussions in the study of history about the emergence of Jewish modernity, and to debates in contemporary religious thought about practice, tradition, and social life.

▼ In recent years, the relationship between religion and Enlightenment, traditionally cast in opposition to one another, has received increasing reconsideration. Scholars now recognise that even orthodox religion played a central role within the Enlightenment project. This development has marked a paradigm shift in Atlantic world and Enlightenment historiography. However, while the relationship between religion and Enlightenment has been greatly clarified, there remain major gaps in our understanding of the nature and parameters of this relationship. This thesis contributes to the understanding of religion’s function within Enlightenment thought and practice through a case study of the colonial missionary work of the Society in Scotland for Propagating Christian Knowledge (SSPCK). Using primary sources such as institutional records, sermons, journals, diaries and letters, it examines evangelism within the framework of the Enlightenment. The study demonstrates first how both the founders of the SSPCK and the Society’s most fervent advocates of missionary work in the colonies were simultaneously the foremost leaders of the British and American Enlightenment. It then traces the implications of this religious Enlightenment dynamic, illuminating not only the ambitions of the Society’s leadership but also certain contours of intimate encounters between Native Americans, Native Christians and white missionaries. As the SSPCK’s missionary endeavours demonstrate, the relationship between evangelism and Enlightenment not only changed all individuals and institutions involved. It also transformed the very landscape of British Protestant religion. This assessment points to the overarching conclusion that the Enlightenment shaped the very foundation of modern missions. In the process, however, British Atlantic Protestants of many different varieties wove the discourse of the Enlightenment into the tapestry of their understanding of evangelism as a primary means of identity formation, both personally and institutionally. Historiographically, this research forces a reexamination of the nuances of the religious Enlightenment. It also problematizes the static (albeit dominant) interpretation of evangelicalism by observing its emergence in light of the broader conditions of British Atlantic Protestantism.

▼ Taking " care of the self " as a value, it is a principle, and a principle of principle that a person first need to be sure in facing his world. Through it, a person can identify and construct him-/herself, as well as a variety of special transcendence and inherent relationship between his/her own and the world with others. In other words, " care of the self " is both internal and beyond of his/her own, in a position of truth and a requirements of power. Further, It is also related to a personal's âlookâ in some way. Theâlookâ in âpersentâ is not only a form where the subject worries about him-/herself, but also an object change for the subject's care. Secondly, it also requires a series of interventive acts related to a man's physical. That is to say, in order to achieve and complete his own, the transcendence position of truth and the immanence demand of pow6er must often be done through some physical practices and ascesis of will. My main intention and work in this article is: through exploration and understanding the basic structure of " care of the self ", I want to analyze the relationship of "subject and power" and "subject and truth", so as to grasp power and truth (knowledge) in the self-deconstruction and the self-construction process of subject, inquiring what roles power and truth plays and effects . As the same time, I want to provide a possible solution in two issues that relate to reality situation of an individual life. First, there are some issue about the boundary of âsubject's lookâ âwhat factors constitute âsubject's lookâ and where are its boundaries? How can the subject cross the âsubjectâs lookâsâ boundary? And what are the possibilities and condition for its own boundary crossing? Secondly, it is related to man's revolt.Which means the following qjeation, how can the subject escape dispositif of power in his/her own, thus opening the possibility of liberation for his/her own physical,will and thought?

▼ Important tenets of Enlightenment thought, specifically natural theology and philosophical naturalism, mark both the libretto and certain aspects of the music of Haydn's Creation. The opening chapters of the dissertation establish the philosophical, historical, literary, and musical milieu as shaped by leading thinkers of the period. Influences of important precursors are discussed, including Milton's Paradise Lost and earlier "creation" oratorios. The libretto of Creation, through its revisionist treatment of the biblical account of creation, reflects a shift from the orthodox Christian, apologetic perspective of Handelian oratorio toward a deistic representation of biblical truth. Paralleling this shift away from theological orthodoxy is The Creation's departure from the contrapuntal textures of Baroque oratorio – associated by James Webster and Hermann Danuser with the element of the musical "sublime" – to a pluralistic musical palette including elements from secular genres such as opera and symphony. These parallel shifts move the work toward naturalism. The Creation's ultimate message is one of Enlightenment optimism produced by the oratorio's religious tolerance – demonstrated by the omission of the Fall narrative – and musical eclecticism. Musical inclusivity is conveyed by a mixture of styles and conventions that cross normative standards for setting sacred texts. The analysis of text-music relationships in Creation builds on theoretical constructs of Danuser and Kramer, focusing on smaller- to larger-level musical sections that demonstrate the contrast in style and values represented by the sublime and idyllic. Both texts and music of The Creation elevate values of naturalism while simultaneously "rescinding" the sublime element into the beautiful or "idyllic." Concluding chapters focus on reception history of The Creation in both Austria and England, Haydn's two target audiences for the work. Advisors/Committee Members: Bolton, Thomas W (advisor).

▼ This study investigates the eighteenth-century obsession for happiness. After an introductory Hoofdstuk, in which I discuss the questions addressed in this study, and give a general survey of European thought on happiness, a historiographical overview, a sketch of Enlightenment-historiography, a section on sources and method and a short introduction on the concept of happiness respectively, the most important powers behind the debate on happiness are discussed in a second preparatory Hoofdstuk. By way of hypotheses, I argue that it was a combination of changes within the material, the intellectual and the communicational culture, which was responsible for the rise of the Enlightenment debate on happiness. The first part of this study examines the existing traditions within this debate. Happiness was in itself not a new subject and writers could elaborate on both the classical and the Christian traditions. These traditions, however, were not static and subject to several changes. For instance, the classical notion that virtue equates to happiness, became an eighteenth-century commonplace. Between 1750 and 1780, this was the most dominant concept of happiness. In addition, many in the eighteenth-century came to see Christianity as a means to establish happiness on earth, changing meanwhile the Christian outlook from a vertical to a horizontal perspective. The third generally held opinion that happiness was to be found in contentment was embedded in both the Christian and the classical traditions. Towards the end of the eighteenth century this view was intertwined with the new cult of domesticity. Writers from the period of the Enlightenment also added new elements to the debate on happiness. These new departures are discussed in the second part of this study. Testimony for these new developments was, amongst others, the rise of a so-called science of happiness. By analogy to the natural sciences, eighteenth-century writers came to the belief that a science of happiness was possible too. The same laws that governed nature were believed to rule human behavior as well. Once these laws behind human behavior had been unveiled, nothing could obstruct happiness on earth. A second new trend was the increasing interest in the social and personal aspects of happiness. This focus on the social and the personal was connected to a growing interest in the mechanics of civil society. Especially from 1750 onwards, these social and personal aspects came to play a more important role in the debate on happiness. After 1780 the focus on the social and personal gained more momentum and a more modern view of happiness became fashionable.

▼ In this dissertation, I trace the complex negotiations of childhood play, display, power, propriety, and authenticity in the Singspiels and Lieder of the late eighteenth century. My central claim is that the musical culture of this period marked a brief moment of equilibrium between the parent-centered discourses of Bildung and the laudatory nostalgia that characterized the nineteenth-century cult of the child. Pedagogical reformers and men of letters sought a greater intimacy between young and old, and music had a singular role to play in the cultivation of that intimacy. Debates about the reform of Singspiel and Lieder in the early- and mid-eighteenth century had established German vocal music as an agent of moral instruction and social cohesion, reframing its relative simplicity as an ethical asset rather than an aesthetic shortcoming. At the same time, philosophers identified a more essential link between children and song, one based on the emotional immediacy imputed to both. The new national repertoires helped to construct an image of the young as thinking, feeling subjects and sources of certain kinds of wisdom, even grace.Each of the chapters surveys a particular genre or repertoire, as well as focusing on a single aspect of that genre's engagement with the child. The Kindertruppen – novelty theatrical troupes in which children impersonated adults and performed adult repertoire – stage the child as an exotic figure of curiosity. Kinderoperetten and Kinderlieder, published for domestic performance, call upon children to portray lightly fictionalized versions of themselves, acting as powerful agents of a more intimately bonded family, as in the Kinderoperetten, or as idealized representatives of a stage of life remote from adulthood, while still cognizant of future responsibilities, as in the Kinderlieder. Finally, the magic Singspiels of Mozart, Schikaneder, and their contemporaries find the representational trajectory coming full circle, with adults portraying supernatural children who take on protective, even redemptive roles. In each case, I discuss musical works that exhibit a degree of self-consciousness with respect to their representation of the child. Metafictional devices such as mise-en-abyme, self-referentiality, and embedded tableaus of music-making establish a kind of internal critical discourse regarding the ideologies of childhood, with song frequently serving as a unit of emotional currency. The more children were idealized, protected, and romanticized, the more distant they were felt to be – and, in a sense, the "authentic" child recedes entirely in subsequent decades. Thus the short-lived late-Enlightenment effort to meet children "on their own terms," with music as the source of common ground and the means of establishing affinity, stands as an intriguing anomaly in the history both of childhood and of music's role in its cultural construction.

▼ This project examines the origins and history of early anthropological thought in the philosophy of the Scottish Enlightenment during the last half of the eighteenth century. The aim of this investigation is to set into historical context the intense interest in tribal societies exhibited in the writings of the leading members of the Scottish intelligentsia. Increasing contact with and awareness of non-European societies in the eighteenth century raised the problem of accounting for both the diversities and uniformities existing among the world’s peoples and their societies. After midcentury many enlightened moral theorists drew upon the methods and epistemologies of the new natural sciences to reestablish the moral sciences on natural historical foundations. Human and social development were understood as analogous to generative theories posited in the vitalist life sciences of epigenesis, which was instrumental, most notably, in the stadial or “four-stages” theory of progress articulated by Adam Smith. Reinterpreting the Scottish Enlightenment in the context of vitalist thought offers greater insight into what is perhaps its preeminent idea, that of “spontaneous order.” The theorization of moral and social systems as products of human nature allowed for a far-reaching revision of the human sciences and the systems of thought upon which they were based, including natural law theory. The mainstream of anthropological theorists understood the continuities among human societies as evidence of a uniformity in human nature. A minority, however, located divergences in civilizational progress in racial difference. This study attempts to draw out the implications of these understandings of humanity and connections between empire and anthropology, which were constitutive strands of the late eighteenth-century Scottish human and moral sciences. Recognizing in British imperial and commercial expansion nascent processes of globalization, enlightened Scots made its theorization a part of the moral and human sciences. Smith posited that it was familiarity with others mediated through the imagination that produced sympathy. With increasing contact between unequal societies, the more liberal Scottish theorists reasoned with “savages” sought in part to cultivate humanitarian and egalitarian sentiments towards them among their readers through the creation of an anthropological imagination.
