Key thinkers of the English, Scottish and American Enlightenmentsfrom locke to Madison /[electronic resource] :by Sabrina P. Ramet, Torbjørn L. Knutsen. - Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :2024. - xii, 143 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Introduction: The Seeds of Enlightenment -- The English Enlightenment: Algernon Sidney & John Locke -- The Scottish Enlightenment: Francis Hutcheson, David Hume, & Adam Smith -- The American Enlightenment: Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson, & James Madison -- Mary Wollstonecraft -- The Meaning of the Anglo-American Enlightenment.

"Sabrina P. Ramet and Torbjørn L. Knutsen, previously co-authors of German Moral and Political Philosophy, have returned with a second collaborative volume, this time examining the Anglo-American Enlightenment. Their new book is succinct, insightful, and easy to read. The book is a valuable addition to academic literature." - Vladimir Đorđević, Associate Professor, Mendel University, Czechia "Key Thinkers of the English, Scottish and American Enlightenments will be a must-have item for me and my students. The authors have shown that not only Spinoza, Locke, Hume, Jefferson, Madison, Paine, and Kant but also Algernon Sidney, Francis Hutcheson, Adam Smith, and Mary Wollstonecraft are our contemporaries, thanks to whom we better understand ourselves and the world we live in." -Stanisław Obirek, Professor of Humanities, University of Warsaw, Poland. "What is Enlightenment? Like the metaphor of vision presupposed by the question, the typical short answer - "reason, liberty, rights" - has been formative for the Western tradition since the end of the seventeenth century. In this learned book, the authors resist any shorthand interpretation. They historicise the narrative and trace how Enlightenment thinkers across the Atlantic articulated radical ideas of social change which continue to inspire and vex us 350 years on." - Silviya Lechner, Chair of the Department of Political Science, Anglo-American University in Prague, and Visiting Senior Research Fellow, King's College London. This book analyses the Anglo-American Enlightenment, showing how the ideas developed first by John Locke and Algernon Sidney spread to the New World and influenced and were reflected in the thinking of James Madison and Thomas Jefferson, among others. Sabrina Ramet is Professor Emerita at The Norwegian University of Science & Technology, Norway. Torbjorn Lindstrom Knutsen is Professor Emeritus at The Norwegian University of Science & Technology, Norway.
