/ In using free markets to efficiently distribute goods, and in using psychology to predict and improve behavior (both individually and in organizations), we assume that the human mind can be studied naturalistically, using the methods of the modern natural sciences. This assumption is a product of the intellectual innovation of the Scottish Enlightenment, a remarkable era of philosophical, scientific, and cultural achievement in 18th-century Scotland. This course will equip students to critically assess how they accept and utilize the modern picture of the human mind developed in the Scottish Enlightenment, through the study of some of its key thinkers (David Hume and Adam Smith) and their enduring legacy.
