Sumner shared many intellectual assumptions with 18th-century Scottish moral philosophers, such as Adam Smith, Thomas Reid, and Dugald Stewart.
They were part of ethical naturalism.
The major reason for this ideological kinship was the historical fact that Scottish moral philosophy was one of the major sources for modern social science.
Sumner's Folkways illustrates the Scottish influence.
