Book Description
Are human beings linked by a common nature, one that makes them see the world in the same moral way? Or are they fragmented by different cultural practices and values? These fundamental questions of our existence were debated in the Enlightenment by Locke, Shaftesbury, and Hutcheson. Daniel Carey provides an important new historical perspective on their discussion. At the same time, he explores the relationship between these founding arguments and contemporary disputes over cultural diversity and multiculturalism. Our own conflicting positions today reflect long-standing differences that emerged during the Enlightenment.
Review
"As an attempt to recover the differences among Locke, Shaftsbury, and Hutcheson and to consider the prospects for accommodation, Carey's book succeeds. He provides a lucid reading of the Enlighteners and, in so doing, reminds us that the Enlightenment did not usher in a totalitarian project." -- Eduardo Velasquez, Washington and Lee University, Perspectives on Politics
"Carey's book is bursting with interesting ideas and is an excellent addition to intellectual history and to the literature on all three of its major figures." -- Aaron Garrett, Boston University, Eighteenth-Century Scotland
"Carey's use of correspondence and unpublished manuscripts from the early modern periods adds to the value of his study, which as a whole contains a wealth of information and ideas. All this is to Carey's great credit." -- Ideas, Aesthetics and Inquires
"… brilliant and scholarly … an innovative and important contribution to enlightenment historiography …" -- Locke Studies
