| Summary |
The author examines the moral philosophy of Adam Smith, best known for his famous work on economics, 'The Wealth of Nations', and shows that his thought still has much to offer philosophers today. He gives particular attention to Smith's original theory of conscience, with its emphasis on the role of 'sympathy' |
