Summary

Andreas Rahmatian presents the first comprehensive study of the legal aspects of Hume’s and Smith’s writings. The Scottish Enlightenment was considerably legal or jurisprudential in its moral and social or political philosophy. Yet until now, David Hume and Adam Smith’s considerable body of legal texts both with regard to technical (private) law and legal and political philosophy have been neglected by lawyers and philosophers, political theorists and historians of political thought.
