The Kingdom of Freedom in the Garden of God: Ferguson's Postulates of Moral Action
Journal of Scottish Philosophy 16 (2):105-123 (2018)
Abstract
Similar to Immanuel Kant, Adam Ferguson links freedom of the will, the existence of God, and immortality to the possibility of moral conduct. We explore these three dimensions of Ferguson's thought across several of his works. Ferguson's account of these postulates of morality not only anticipates Kant but incorporates a religious sensibility that manifests an appeal to nature rather than scripture.Other Versions
