During the long eighteenth century the moral and socio-political dimensions of family life and gender were hotly debated by intellectuals across Europe. John Millar, a Scottish law professor and philosopher, was a pioneer in making gendered and familial practice a critical parameter of cultural difference. His work was widely disseminated at home and abroad, translated into French and German and closely read by philosophers such as Denis Diderot and Johann Gottfried Herder. Taking Millar’s writings as his basis, Nicholas B. Miller explores the role of the family in Scottish Enlightenment political thought and traces its wider resonances across the Enlightenment world.

在漫长的 18 世纪，家庭生活和性别的道德和社会政治层面受到欧洲知识分子的热烈讨论。苏格兰法学教授兼哲学家约翰·米勒 (John Millar) 是将性别和家庭实践作为文化差异关键参数的先驱。他的著作在国内外广为传播，被译成法文和德文，被丹尼斯狄德罗和约翰戈特弗里德赫尔德等哲学家仔细阅读。以米勒的著作为基础，尼古拉斯·B·米勒探索了家庭在苏格兰启蒙运动政治思想中的作用，并追溯了家庭在启蒙运动世界中产生的更广泛的共鸣。
