More about the book
Ferguson's work presents a complex model of historical progress, emphasizing the importance of active citizenship in modern governance. He critiques the modern commercial society for neglecting civic virtues while drawing insights from classical literature and contemporary travel accounts. Central themes include conflict, political engagement, and military valor, alongside a focus on unintended consequences in historical causality. Ferguson argues for the essential role of individual, public-spirited citizens in shaping a vibrant political community, challenging both Enlightenment thinkers and Rousseau's primitivism.
