Abstract

Dugald Stewart claims that conjectural history is 'the peculiar glory of the latter half of the eighteenth century'. Yet it is hard to see why, in his view, conjectural histories are not merely confabulated just-so stories. This paper examines Stewart's views about the epistemic and moral value of conjectural history. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
