À propos de ce contenu audio

The Scottish Enlightenment was markedly different than the Enlightenment on the European continent. To help us explore this topic, we'll take a look at the following questions:

  1. How did David Hume influence the way in which history is recounted?
  2. Why would later philosophers see Hume as more reasonable than his French and German counterparts?
  3. Why was post-Enlightenment Britain more open to organized religion than the continent?
