- This edited volume originates in an international conference that was solely organised by Bow for the British Society for the History of Philosophy in 2014 (funding was received from the Mind Association). Featuring the research of philosophers and intellectual historians from nine countries and over twenty cities, the three-day conference explored new avenues to better understand the place of common-sense philosophy within the Scottish Enlightenment. This is the first edited collection devoted exclusively to the philosophy and history of Scottish common sense during the long eighteenth century. Bow conceived of this volume as an interdisciplinary dialogue which encourages a deeper and more complete examination of philosophical ideas and their historical value. The volume, which was solely edited by Bow, also contains introductory and concluding chapters by him. The introduction reframes the historiographical understanding of the school, while the concluding chapter introduces new archival material on the late Scottish Enlightenment.
