John Stuart Blackie was een invloedrijk figuur in het negentiende-eeuwse Schotland, toegewijd aan het nieuw leven inblazen van de Verlichtingstraditie door zijn betrokkenheid bij de Duitse filosofie. Als professor speelde hij een cruciale rol in het moderniseren van het Schotse universitaire curriculum, waarbij hij theologische beperkingen aanvocht en academische vooruitgang stimuleerde. Buiten de academische wereld was Blackie een vooraanstaand publiek intellectueel, die bijdroeg aan hedendaagse debatten en correspondeerde met invloedrijke denkers. Later werd hij een gepassioneerd voorstander van het Schots nationalisme en de rechten van crofters, wat hun historische positie aanzienlijk beïnvloedde.
