Adam Smith An Enlightened Life

Nicholas Phillipson?s intellectual biography of Adam Smith shows that Smith saw himself as philosopher rather than an economist. Phillipson shows Smith?s famous works were a part of a larger scheme to establish a "Science of Man," which was to encompass law, history, and aesthetics as well as economics and ethics. Phillipson explains Adam Smith?s part in the rapidly changing intellectual and commercial cultures of Glasgow and Edinburgh at the time of the Scottish Enlightenment. Above all Phillipson explains how far Smith?s ideas developed in dialog with his closest friend David Hume. --Publisher?s description.

  • "This book shows the extent to which the 'Wealth of Nations' and the 'Theory of Moral Sentiments', were part of a larger scheme to establish a grand 'Science of Man', one of the most ambitious projects of the European Enlightenment, which was to encompass law, history, and aesthetics as well as ecnomics and ethics, and which was only half complete on Smith's death in 1790."
