David Hume is identified on the blurb of this book as the greatest philosopher to ever write in the English language. His theories on free will and the existence of a god were ground-breaking for his time, and they predate existentialism of Kierkegaard and Satre by a considerable timespan. Prominent Scots were not afraid to delve into the controversial, as Lord Darnley was homosexual who actually slept with the person he supposedly murdered or had murdered, Rizzio. James I and IV happened to be openly gay. As it appears it to be so Charles Edward Stuart was typecast as a literal antichrist to the English, the bringer of great doom that would lead to the death and destruction to the English way of life.
