Book Description
Smith was the first Princeton alumnus to hold the office of President of the college and was elected to the American Philosophical Society in 1785. In the "Essay" he attempted to show that physical variety in the human species was due to natural environmental causes, particularly climate, and dismissed the polygenist argument that each of the different races of man had sprung from their own stock.

Book Description
The Scottish Enlightenment
Author: Silvia Sebastiani
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1137069791
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 521
Book Description
The Scottish Enlightenment shaped a new conception of history as a gradual and universal progress from savagery to civil society. Whereas women emancipated themselves from the yoke of male-masters, men in turn acquired polite manners and became civilized. Such a conception, however, presents problematic questions: why were the Americans still savage? Why was it that the Europeans only had completed all the stages of the historic process? Could modern societies escape the destiny of earlier empires and avoid decadence? Was there a limit beyond which women's influence might result in dehumanization? The Scottish Enlightenment's legacy for modernity emerges here as a two-faced Janus, an unresolved tension between universalism and hierarchy, progress and the limits of progress.
