Education for Life: Correspondence and Writings on Religion and Practical Philosophy (Natural Law and Enlightenment Classics) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Liberty Fund recognizes the significance of George Turnbull, one of the earliest of the authors in the Scottish tradition, with the publication of new editions of his Principles of Moral and Christian Philosophy, his Observations upon Liberal Education, and his translation of Heineccius. These major works testify to Turnbull’s distinctive voice in presenting natural-law theory on a scientific model, in harnessing the arts to promote the principles of moral and civil virtue, and in extolling reason as the foundation of liberty.
The short pieces in Education for Life: Correspondence and Writings on Religion and Practical Philosophy supplement Turnbull’s larger and more sprawling works and give a more concentrated presentation of his ideas. These extremely rare works include two Aberdeen graduation theses, three tracts on religion, various writings on education and art, and, for the first time in print, the correspondence of Turnbull.
M. A. Stewart is Professor Emeritus of the History of Philosophy at the University of Lancaster, Honorary Research Professor at the University of Aberdeen, and Senior Research Fellow at Harris Manchester College, Oxford.
Paul Wood is Professor of History and Director of the Humanities Centre at the University of Victoria.
Knud Haakonssen is Professor of Intellectual History at the University of Sussex, England.
