The article examines the intellectual sources of David Livingstone’s vision for “colonization” of Africa and its profoundly Scottish nature. Unlike the common view of Livingson as a most effective Christian advocate of Britain’s colonization in Africa, his missionary travels started with entirely different purpose and vision. It was first inspired by his father’s Evangelicalism, then nurtured by his working experience at David Dale’s spinning factory in his hometown Blantyre, and theoretically strengthened by the work of the leading advocate of anti-slavery movement, Thomas F. Buxton. Livingstone not only succeeded Buxton’s missing for Africa’s civilization by Christianity and commerce, but also expanded it into a wider scheme of ultimate independence of African nations through British economic assistance in the name of “colonization”. More Significantly, behind Livingston’s view of Africa did exist a theological view of nature that he had learned in his early years directly from Thomas Dick, a Scottish popular scientist and indirectly through Dick from Thomas Chalmers, a Scottish theologian and social reformer. The author attempts to prove that Scottish intellectual contexts ans was morally completed by his deep sympathy with the local people in Africa.
