	Adam Ferguson - LoveToKnow 1911
		ADAM FERGUSON (1723-1816), Scottish philosopher and historian, was born on the 20th of June 1723, at Logierait, Perthshire.
		In 1759 Ferguson was appointed professor of natural philosophy in the university of Edinburgh, and in 1764 was transferred to the chair of "pneumatics" (mental philosophy) "and moral philosophy." In 1767, against Hume's advice, he published his Essay on the History of Civil Society, which was well received and translated into several European languages.
		Ferguson was led to undertake this work from a conviction that the history of the Romans during the period of their greatness was a practical illustration of those ethical and political doctrines which were the object of his special study.

	Adam Ferguson
		Scottish Enlightenment philosopher and historian, Adam Ferguson is widely regarded as one of the founding fathers of sociology.
		Ferguson rejects the hedonic calculus of Hume, arguing that human behavior is driven not only by the peaceful pursuit of pleasure, but also -- indeed primarily -- by a will to power, aggressiveness, animosity and a instictive desire for conflict and a susceptibility to corruption.
		Ferguson's purpose is to emphasize that no matter how universal human attributes and instincts may be, the outcome of social interaction is not uniformity and harmony but rather diversity and conflict.
