| Research Abstract |
Little is known of how Cambridge University came to have the first course on political economy amongst English universities in the early nineteenth century, as well as of how the course continued to the middle of the century. To fill the gap, this research has come up with three findings ; firstly, that the university had a tradition of utilitarian moral philosophy, which dated from the previous century, and which contained economic discourses more or less different from the political economy incubated in the Scottish Enlightenment ; secondly, that the university nevertheless introduced political economy as a separate subject from Edinburgh, rather than elevating to it the economic discourses mentioned above ; thirdly and finally, that the so-called Cambridge Inductivists, noted for their methodological assaults upon"orthodox"political economy, stood in opposition to at once the utilitarian tradition and to the political economy thus introduced.
