Thus did Hume set out to bridge the gap between the learned world of the academy and the market-place of polite society. This collection, drawing largely on his "Essays moral, political and literary" (1776 edition), which was even more popular than his famous "Treatise of Human Nature", comprehensively shows how far he succeeded. From "Of essay writing" to "Of the Rise and Progress of the Arts and Sciences" Hume embraces a staggering range of social, culture, political, demographic, and historical concerns. With the scope typical of the Scottish Enlightenment he charts the state of civil society, manners, morals, and taste, and the development of political economy in the mid-eighteenth century. These essays represent not only those areas where Hume's argument are revealingly typical of his day, but also those where he is strikingly innovative in a period already famous for its great thinkers.

Philosophy and Government is a major new contribution to our understanding of European political theory which will challenge the perspectives in which political thought is understood. Framed as a general account of the period between 1572 and 1651 it charts the formation of a distinctively modern political vocabulary, based upon arguments of political necessity and raison d'etat in the work of the major theorists. Whilst Dr Tuck pays detailed attention to Montaigne, Grotius, Hobbes and the theorists of the English Revolution, he also reconsiders the origins of their conceptual vocabulary in humanist thought - particularly scepticism and stoicism - and its development and appropriation during the revolutions in Holland and France. This book will be welcomed by all historians of political thought and those interested in the development of the idea of the state.
