Royal Philosophical Society of Glasgow lecture

Robert Burns & 18th-Century Thought

Wed 18 Jan, University of Glasgow

Prof Gerard Carruthers examines the debt owed to the #ScottishEnlightenment by Scotland’s national poet. Arguably, this intellectual hinterland in Burns remains under-appreciated amid a predominant framing of Burns as a ‘folk’ artist.

For all #Scots incl the #diaspora sending thots of reason clarity justice for tomorrow. #ScottishEnlightenment kinda thinking (without c18 #racism and #class division)

I learned of the term #commonplace book reading Tom Ricks’ immensely educational book #FirstPrinciples.

As part of my #introduction, I’d like to continuing with my messy personal experimental process of #digital #pamphleteering, gathering shared data, information, knowledge, and wisdom to build a sense of #community across time and space. 🇺🇸#fediverse #federated #networks #republicanism #scottishenlightenment #history
