Outline of Final Research Achievements

During 2014-2017 I presented papers in two international conferences (Hume Conference in 2014 and ECSSS/ASECS Annual Meeting in 2016), and published three papers (one of which is forthcoming) in international journals (Hume Studies, Modern Intellectual History, and the European Journal of the History of Economic Thought). A part of this research project is also contained in my book published in 2015. As I have not yet published some part of the resource research made during this term, I endeavor to publish it further.
