These twelve new studies illustrate some of the techniques employed in        intellectual history today. Exploring themes and issues pertaining to religion,        philosophy, and their interrelations, as they exercised British thinkers in the long        eighteenth century, they further our understanding of the period when some of the        most significant works in western philosophy were written, at a time when theory and        practice in science, politics, law, and theology were evolving and there        wasimportant contact with the Continent. Priority has been given to new work on        primary sources. Figures examined range from Locke and Hume to relatively unfamiliar        personalities, such as Martin Clifford, Henry Scougal, Samuel Haliday, and Thomas        Cooper. Others treated include John Toland, Bernard Mandeville,Francis Hutcheson,        Joseph Butler, Henry Home, Adam Smith, Joseph Priestley, Thomas Reid, and Dugald        Stewart. Topics include the claims of biblical authority and religious experience as        sources of truth; whether beliefs received on the evidence of authority (e.g. about        resurrection) can be made intelligible; freedom of thought and conscience in        philosophical, religious, and political contexts; shifts in the study of human        nature; the claims of justice, and natural law. Contributors includedistinguished        and established scholars and exciting younger talent, bringing together historians        of philosophy with scholars from theology, literature, history, and political        science. New transcriptions of two pieces by Hume are included-a new letter        illustrating his later attitude to politics andreligion, and his early essay on        ethics and chivalry.
