In this outstanding philosophical introduction Samuel Fleischacker argues that Smith is a superb example of the broadly curious thinkers who flourished in the Enlightenment-for whom morality, politics, law, and economics were just a few of the many fascinating subjects that could be illuminated by naturalistic modes of investigation.
After a helpful overview of his life and work, Fleischacker examines the full range of Smith's thought, on such subjects as:
epistemology, philosophy of science, and aesthetics
the nature of sympathy
moral approval and moral judgement
virtue
religion
justice and jurisprudence
governmental policy
economic principles
liberalism.
Including chapter summaries, suggestions for further reading, and a glossary, Adam Smith is essential reading for those studying ethics, political philosophy, the history of philosophy, and the Enlightenment, as well as those reading Smith in related disciplines such as economics, law, and religion.
