It may be the case that his thesis is a tad overstated, however, Herman has successfully crafted a thoroughly convincing account of the Scottish intellectual influence in creating the foundations of the modern west. Overall, an amazing read and a fantastic introduction to the Scottish Enlightenment. Invaluable as a starting point for further study.
