Highlights the continued flourishing of Scottish philosophy after the Enlightenment by exploring the work of underappreciated figures and themes Beginning with Sir William Hamilton's revitalization of philosophy in Scotland in the 1830s, this book takes up the theme of George Davie's The Democratic Intellect and explores a century of debates surrounding the identity and continuity of the Scottish philosophical tradition. Alexander Bain, J F Ferrier, Thomas Carlyle, Alexander Campbell Fraser, John Tulloch, Henry Jones, Henry Calderwood, David Ritchie, and Andrew Seth Pringle-Pattison are among the once prominent, but now neglected thinkers whose reactions to Hume and Reid stimulated new currents of ideas. Graham concludes by considering the relation between the Scottish philosophical tradition and the twentieth-century philosopher John Macmurray. Gordon Graham has taught philosophy at the University of St Andrews, University of Aberdeen and Princeton University. He was the founding editor of the Journal of Scottish Philosophy and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
