Lord Kames: Legal and Social Theorist (EUP 2015)

Professor Andreas Rahmatian

This is the first biography of Kames since the late Ian Ross's Lord Kames and the Scotland of His Day (1972). While Ross's work focused on the life as well as the work, Rahmatian's study focuses on the intellectual biography. Dr Rahmatian will make a short presentation of the themes of his book. Dr James Harris, Reader in History at the University of St Andrews will then discuss it, and Dr Rahmatian will respond. There will then be an open discussion.
