Publisher Notes
Charles Griswold has written the first comprehensive philosophical discussion of Smith's moral and political philosophy. Griswold sets Smith's work in the context of the Enlightenment as well as relating it to current work in moral philosophy. This is a major historical and philosophical reassessment of a key figure in the Enlightenment that will be of particular interest to philosophers, political and legal theorists, as well as historians of ideas, economics, and political economy.
Media Reviews
"His book is written for an audience of professional philosophers. But it is also exemplary in spelling out many of Smith's arguments and subjecting them to analytic scrutiny. If reading it requires effort, the reward is substantial."
