Translating the Enlightenment: Scottish Civic Discourse in Eighteenth-Century Germany - Oxford Historical Monographs
Oz-Salzberger, Fania (Lecturer in Modern History, Lecturer in Modern History, University of Haifa)
This is a study of how political ideas travel across languages and cultures. It examines the reception in Germany of the civic theories of the Scottish Enlightenment thinker Adam Ferguson, and shows how German intellectuals misread his work, but in a way which opened up many fruitful insights.
