Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history and profound impact of debating societies at the University of Edinburgh, particularly that of the illustrious Speculative Society. Founded in 1764, the Speculative Society provided a transformative platform for students to hone their oratory, critical thinking, and philosophical inquiry. The author draws on meticulously researched records to trace the Society's evolution, its influence on the intellectual landscape of the time, and the extraordinary contributions of its members, who went on to shape the legal, political, and academic landscapes in Scotland and beyond. Through vibrant accounts of debates and essays, the book sheds light on the evolution of ideas within the Society, from philosophical inquiries to political and literary topics.
