While leading this university, William Carstares imported the specialized professor model from the Netherlands. A chair of “pneumatics” at this university emphasized conflict, play, political participation, and military valor in his An Essay on the History of Civil Society. Drawing (10[1])on Montesquieu, (10[1])a professor at this university wrote that societies go through ages of hunters, shepherds, agriculture, and commerce. Adam Ferguson and Dugald Stewart taught at this university, (-5[1])where another thinker wrote that care emerges from witnessing (10[1])the fortune or suffering of others in A Theory of Moral (10[1])Sentiments. (10[1])For 10 points, (10[1])name this alma mater of David Hume, (10[2])where (10[1])Adam Smith (10[1])contributed (10[1])to the (10[1])Scottish Enlightenment. (10[3])■END■ (10[6]0[3])
