en-wikipedia-org-1838		Duncan Forbes (historian) - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	479	76	61	Duncan Forbes (historian) Wikipedia Duncan Forbes (1922 – 3 December 1994) was a Scottish historian.[1] Forbes edited Adam Ferguson's An Essay on the History of Civil Society for the University of Edinburgh Press in 1966. In his book Hume's Philosophical Politics, Forbes argued that Hume's main purpose in writing The History of England was to give "the Hanoverian regime a proper intellectual foundation".[3] Against the traditional portrayal of Hume as a Tory, Forbes labelled Hume's beliefs "skeptical Whiggism", that is, an acceptance of the Revolution Settlement coupled with a rejection of most other Whig orthodoxies such as the concept of the "ancient constitution".[4] Retrieved from "https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Duncan_Forbes_(historian)&oldid=978111156" Hidden categories: Wikipedia articles with BNF identifiers Wikipedia articles with GND identifiers Wikipedia articles with ISNI identifiers Wikipedia articles with LCCN identifiers Wikipedia articles with VIAF identifiers Wikipedia articles with WORLDCATID identifiers By using this site, you agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-1838.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-1838.txt
