Adam Ferguson in the Scottish Enlightenment

- The Roman Past and Europe's Future

About Adam Ferguson in the Scottish Enlightenment

Unlike his contemporaries, who saw Europe's prosperity as confirmation of a utopian future, the Scottish Enlightenment philosopher Adam Ferguson saw a reminder of Rome's lesson that egalitarian democracy could become a self-undermining path to dictatorship. This is a major reassessment of a critic overshadowed today by David Hume and Adam Smith.
