Summary The Introduction sets the contributions to this special issue in the context of existing scholarship on Dugald Stewart. The main points are the great advance in our understanding of Stewart's intellectual development, his complicated relationship to his predecessors and contemporaries in Scottish philosophy, and his important role in the European republic of letters. Keywords: Dugald StewartThomas ReidJames BeattiePierre PrevostImmanuel KantScottish philosophyrepublic of letters Notes 1Stewart was, for example, depicted as an epigone of Reid in James McCosh's highly influential The Scottish Philosophy, Biographical, Expository, Critical, from Hutcheson to Hamilton (London, 1875), 300–01. Stewart is seen as the last member of the ‘school’ of Scottish common sense philosophy in Selwyn A. Grave, The Scottish Philosophy of Common Sense (Oxford, 1960), 5–6. 2See, for example, Paul Wood, ‘Dugald Stewart and the Invention of “the Scottish Enlightenment”’, in The Scottish Enlightenment: Essays in Reinterpretation, edited by Paul Wood (Rochester, NY, 2000), 1–35; Michael Brown, ‘Creating a Canon: Dugald Stewart's Construction of the Scottish Enlightenment’, History of Universities, 16 (2001), 135–54. 3We think here, inter alia, of Donald Winch, ‘The System of the North: Dugald Stewart and His Pupils’, in Stefan Collini, Donald Winch, and John Burrow, That Noble Science of Politics: A Study in Nineteenth-Century Intellectual History (Cambridge, 1983), 23–61; Biancamaria Fontana, Rethinking the Politics of Commercial Society: The Edinburgh Review, 1802–1832 (Cambridge, 1985); Anand C. Chitnis, The Scottish Enlightenment and Early Victorian English Society (London, Sydney, and Dover, NH, 1986); Pietro Corsi, ‘The Heritage of Dugald Stewart: Oxford Philosophy and the Method of Political Economy’, Nuncius, 2 (1987), 89–144. 4As in Knud Haakonssen, Natural Law and Moral Philosophy: From Grotius to the Scottish Enlightenment (Cambridge, 1996), chapter 7. 5In this context, mention should also be made of Gordon Macintyre, Dugald Stewart: The Pride and Ornament of Scotland (Brighton and Portland, OR, 2003). 6Cf. Paul B. Wood, ‘The Hagiography of Common Sense: Dugald Stewart's Account of the Life and Writings of Thomas Reid’, in Philosophy, its History and Historiography, edited by Alan J. Holland (Dordrecht, 1985), 305–22. 7See Paul Wood, ‘Dugald Stewart's Original Letter on James Beattie's Essay on Truth, 1805–1806’, this issue. 8See Cristina Paoletti, ‘Common Sense in the Public Sphere: Dugald Stewart and the Edinburgh Review’, this issue. 9On Stewart as an educator see Nicholas Phillipson, ‘The Pursuit of Virtue in Scottish University Education: Dugald Stewart and Scottish Moral Philosophy in the Enlightenment’, in Universities, Society, and the Future, edited by Nicholas Phillipson (Edinburgh, 1983), 82–101; Richard B. Sher, ‘Professors of Virtue: The Social History of the Edinburgh Moral Philosophy Chair in the Eighteenth Century’, in Studies in the Philosophy of the Scottish Enlightenment, edited by M. A. Stewart (Oxford, 1990), 87–126; Michael Brown, ‘Dugald Stewart and the Problem of Teaching Politics in the 1790s’, Journal of Irish and Scottish Studies, 1 (2007), 87–126. 10See Claire Etchegaray, Knud Haakonssen, Daniel Schulthess, David Stauffer, and Paul Wood, ‘The Correspondence of Dugald Stewart, Pierre Prevost and their Circle, 1794–1829’, this issue. 11See Jane Rendall, ‘Adaptations: History, Gender, and Political Economy in the Work of Dugald Stewart’, this issue. 12On this point see, for instance, McCosh, Scottish Philosophy, 302–04. 13Matthew became mentally unstable in the 1830s and destroyed much of his father's papers and correspondence; see Macintyre, Dugald Stewart, 230–33. 14McCosh, Scottish Philosophy, 287, 304–06. 15See Emanuele Levi Mortera, ‘Stewart, Kant, and the Reworking of Common Sense’, this issue. 16Quoted in Chitnis, Scottish Enlightenment, 21. The tribute to Stewart was written by one of his ex-students, Lord John Russell.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
