She investigates the effect of attempts to separate ethics from religion, and to locate the foundation of morals in the constitution of human nature. Focusing on moral philosophy and the educational institutions in which (or in spite of which) these ideas were developed, the book pays close attention to the movement of ideas through the British Isles, in particular the spread of Shaftesbury's thought from England to Ireland and Scotland, and the varied reception of Hume's scepticism north and south of the border. It also demonstrates the enormous influence of Shaftesbury's moral thought and the ultimate triumph of the English interpretation of Shaftesbury with the rise of Butler. Meticulously researched and accessibly written, this volume makes a vital contribution to our understanding of eighteenth-century thought.Cambridge studies in eighteenth-century English literature and thought ;37.Christian ethicsEnglandHistory17th centuryChristian ethicsEnglandHistory18th centuryEnglish languageReligious aspectsChristianityReligious thoughtEngland17th centuryReligious thoughtEngland18th centuryEnglandChurch history17th centuryEnglandChurch history18th centuryEnglandIntellectual life17th centuryEnglandIntellectual life18th centuryChristian ethicsHistoryChristian ethicsHistoryEnglish languageReligious aspectsChristianity.Religious thoughtReligious thought209/.42/09032Rivers Isabel132114MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910962922203321Shaftesbury to Hume4329389UNINA
