Scottish Philosophy After the Enlightenment
Beginning with Sir William Hamilton's revitalisation of philosophy in Scotland in the 1830s, Gordon Graham takes up the theme of George Davie's The Democratic Intellect and explores a century of debates surrounding the identity and continuity of the Scottish philosophical tradition. Graham identifies a host of once-prominent but now neglected thinkers - such as Alexander Bain, J. F. Ferrier, Thomas Carlyle, Alexander Campbell Fraser, John Tulloch, Henry Jones, Henry Calderwood, David Ritchie and Andrew Seth Pringle-Pattison - whose reactions to Hume and Reid stimulated new currents of ideas. He concludes by considering the relation between the Scottish philosophical tradition and the 20th-century philosopher John Macmurray.

Praise for this book
In every respect this book is a far more careful consideration of Scottish Philosophy after the Enlightenment than its forerunners. James McCosh, Henry Laurie, and George Davie all sketched versions of the history of this period, but none of them really focussed on the ideas in as clear-eyed a fashion as Gordon Graham.
--Craig Smith "British Journal of the History of Philosophy"Graham has given us an important book, written in a clear and accessible style, vigorous in its analysis, and convincing in its interpretations. The breadth of coverage is impressive, and while Graham's approach is one of text-based analysis, he provides attention to the larger cultural and religious context.
--Stewart J. Brown "Scottish Church History"Gordon Graham has played a significant role in the promotion and development of the history of Scottish Philosophy. Therefore, a collection of his essays on 19th Century Scottish Philosophy that demonstrates the complexity and interest of this period is very welcome.
