• Extra informatie: The contributions in this anthology explore eighteenth-century discussions about the relationship between passions, personal interests, social conventions, virtue and civility. The book analyses how eighteenth-century English and Scottish thinkers addressed the tension between the development of commercial society, which amplifies human potential, and the risk of weakening the individual's capacity to act as a virtuous citizen. This dialectic between virtue and civility is a recurring theme in the culture of the time and has been the focus of numerous historiographical research.
