✦ Synopsis

This collection brings together scholars who use literary interpretation and discourse analysis to read eighteenth-century British philosophy in its historical context. The essays analyse how the philosophers of the Enlightenment viewed their own writing; how their institutional positions as teachers and writers influenced their understanding of human consciousness; and how our academic legacy is a result of these philosophers' experience as writers.
