Abstract

Having been defenders of the old religious order the Scottish universities became post-Reformation defenders of the new, and philosophy played a key role in this unfolding academic drama. The chapter discusses the trajectory of philosophy in Scotland from the 1520s till the 1630s, with the aim of demonstrating that in significant measure the philosophical outlook of the regents in Arts tracked changes in religious belief and practice. Particular attention will be paid to discussions on logic, metaphysics, and moral psychology; consideration will be given to the evolving place of Aristotle in the university teaching, to the role accorded to Petrus Ramus, and to Andrew Melvilleâs attempt to further the aims of the Reformation by a philosophy-curriculum restructuring. Also highlighted will be the ideas of later Scottish thinkers such as Robert Baron, James Dundas, and John Barron.
