The Scots made their last bid to be an independent nation in 1745-’46, and lost, disastrously, at Culloden. Many fled to France; many more fled to the "Colonies" in America. From our earliest times until about 1867, the primary philosophy in America was Scottish. Some of it was quite good philosophy. After 1867, the primary philosophy was German. I offer some good reasons to have another look at the Scottish Philosophy.
