NOTE Who was the first major figure in the Scottish Enlightenment tradition?

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.000
The first Scottish Enlightenment person, the first professor, I forget whether it was Edinburgh or Glasgow,

2
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:12.400
I was wondering about that, was Gershwin Carmichael, who was only a professor for about two years before he died.

3
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:17.700
But he was a professor, and at the beginning of the professorial, before that they were readers or whatever they were,

4
00:00:17.700 --> 00:00:20.600
and he translates Prufendorf and writes a commentary.

5
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:25.400
He's the founder of the Scottish political economic wing and the Scottish Enlightenment.

6
00:00:25.400 --> 00:00:29.800
And so you've got Prufendorf, Carmichael, and Carmichael is the teacher of Francis Hutchison,

7
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:35.800
Internally featured Adam Smith. We have a Carl Michael Smith, which is a connection.
