Dugald Stewart Selected Philosophical Writings

Dugald Stewart was appointed assistant professor of mathematics in the University of Edinburgh in 1772, aged only 19. He became Professor 3 years later, and after 10 years in the Mathematics Chair, moved to Edinburgh's distinguished Chair of Moral Philosophy. Many of Stewart's students subsequently achieved eminence in politics, law and the professions, most famously Viscount Palmerston who was twice British Prime Minister. Stewart himself became one of the most influential academics in the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century European 'Republic of Letters'.Mortera, Emanuele L. is the author of 'Dugald Stewart Selected Philosophical Writings', published 2007 under ISBN 9781845400620 and ISBN 1845400623.
