Resumo(s)
This article contributes to the evaluation of how historical philosophers
of the Age of Enlightenment reflected upon incipient processes and forces of
globalization. Drawing upon assessments of colonial Spanish America by late
eighteenth-century Scottish philosophical historians, including William Robertson,
Lord Kames, John Millar, Adam Smith and David Hume, the article considers
the challenges Enlightenment-era thinkers encountered in balancing universal
accounts of mankind with extensive human difference in a context
particularly defined by European-managed trade and migration flows. By emphasizing
the challenges that individual philosophical historians confronted in
narrating processes of cultural and national change in the Americas during
the early modern period, this article reveals a core tension between two basic
components of Enlightenment-era historiography: national character and progress.
