Preferred term

Scottish Enlightenment  

Definition(s)

  • Coincident with the Enlightenment in France, Scotland produced, for its size, a disproportionate number of scholars who made major contributions to modern thought. Adam Smith, Adam Ferguson and John Millar were key figures, as was David Hume. [Source: The SAGE Dictionary of Sociology; Enlightenment, Scottish]
