About This Item
New York , NY, U.S.A.: Routledge, 1994. Trade Paperback. As New. This book examines the textual complexity of all of Smith's major works by analyzing their stylistic, figurative, and rhetorical features and by reading them in the context of Enlightenment discourse on the moral, legal, political, and economic aspects of society; rather than seeing Smith's writings as promoting the values of an emerging commercial society, this reading emphasizes their ambivalences; of central importance for the structure of Smith's discourse is Stoic moral philosophy, which provides a set of values antithetical to both classical republican virtues and the aspirations of an acquisitive commercial society
