Gershom Carmichael (1672–1729) was a Scottish philosopher.

Gershom Carmichael was a Scottish subject born in

Scottish privy council for his religious opinions. As a child, he suffered from crooked limbs (probably rickets) and was treated by "body menders" who made him wear limb braces. Through his friendship with the Duke of Hamilton,^[who?] Carmichael visited Bath to take the waters and he was eventually able to dispense with the braces.^[1]

Carmichael graduated at

professorship of moral philosophy in 1727, when the system of masters was abolished at Glasgow. He died in Glasgow.^[2]
