Adam Smith Revisited

Roden, Peyton Foster 01 1900 (has links)
This study represents an interpretation of Adam Smith's attitude toward a commercial society based upon natural liberty. In developing the thesis that the two works, The Theory of Moral Sentiments and Wealth of Nations, are logically consistent, it is necessary to establish the reason of reasons why Adam Smith embraced a commercial society based upon the "obvious and simple system of natural liberty." It will be established that he embraced such as system because it allowed the maximum accumulation of capital, which is the manifestation of being truly virtuous as developed in his Moral Sentiments. To go one step further, it will be seen that, so far as Smith is concerned, it is the rising bourgeoisie, the manufacturers and artificers, which is truly virtuous, i.e., accumulates capital.

La philosophie morale dans l'oeuvre d'Adam Smith : retour sur le Das Adam Smith Problem

Rochon , Odile January 2009 (has links) (PDF)
Deux cent cinquante ans après la publication de la Théorie des sentiments moraux, quelle place accorde-t-on à la philosophie morale dans l'oeuvre d'Adam Smith? Le présent mémoire porte sur cette question et, en particulier, le débat que suscite le Das Adam Smith Problem. Afin de dresser un portrait de l'état actuel du débat, nous analysons une sélection de livres et d'articles ayant été publiés sur le sujet au cours de la période 2002-2008, qui précède le 250e anniversaire de la publication de la Théorie des sentiments moraux (1759-2009). Le chapitre l propose, en guise d'entrée en matière, une section consacrée au Siècle des Lumières en Écosse. Nous présentons ensuite les événements marquants de la vie de Smith ainsi que les principaux penseurs ayant influencé son oeuvre, notamment Francis Hutcheson, David Hume et les stoïciens. Le chapitre suivant est centré sur les thèses principales énoncées dans la Théorie et La Richesse des nations. Nous entendons mettre en évidence les diverses idées formulées par Smith dans ces oeuvres, qui sont susceptibles d'éclairer sa philosophie morale. Une fois jetées ces bases, nous abordons au chapitre III le sujet précis du Problème, d'abord en faisant un survol historique au cours duquel nous retraçons les origines du débat et présentons les auteurs importants y ayant contribué aux XIXe et au XXe siècle. Pour ce faire, nous nous référons aux analyses incontournables de la question, notamment « The Consistency of Adam Smith » (Oncken, 1897) et « Adam Smith and Laissez Faire » (Viner, 1927). Nous démontrons que le débat concernant la cohésion entre les deux oeuvres majeures de Smith est bien vivant au XXle siècle et que les avis vont généralement dans le même sens. En effet, la majorité des interprètes actuels de la pensée de Smith ne croient pas que les deux oeuvres divergent sensiblement. Cela constitue toutefois un des seuls points communs de ces auteurs. Leurs textes concernant le Problème prennent appui sur des analyses distinctes qui ont marqué le débat depuis deux cents ans. Suivant l'analyse de Leonidas Montes (2003), qui établit trois phases caractérisant le débat entourant le Problème depuis le bicentenaire de la Richesse en 1976, nous mettons en avant l'idée selon laquelle le débat comporterait une quatrième phase. Celle-ci se caractérise par le fait que les auteurs de la période 2002-2008 proposent une vision renouvelée de ces théories classiques.

O AUTO INTERESSE NA OBRA DE ADAM SMITH: A ABORDAGEM MORAL DOS AGENTES SOCIAIS / SELF-INTEREST IN THE WORK OF ADAM SMITH: THE SOCIAL APPROACH OF THE MORAL AGENTS

Santos, Cezar Augusto Pereira dos 25 February 2014 (has links)
Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul / The present dissertation - through bibliographical research grounded mainly in the reading of the Theory of Moral Sentiments and of the Wealth of Nations - investigates the connection between Smith's moral philosophy and his approach regarding to the human principles that govern individual pursuit for improving own life condition. For achieve this goal are analyzed some of the Philosophical bases of the author (Stoics, Hutcheson, Hume) and studied the key concepts present in his two books in order to defend the viewpoint of that the Wealth of Nations is a continuity of the Theory of Moral Sentiments. From among the main lessons learned, from the study of the work of Adam Smith, are of which he cultivated, in his personal life, the qualities that in the TMS he considered defining of an excellent character: sobriety, temperance, fairness and magnanimity; which was through of the concepts of sympathy and the impartial spectator, created and developed in the TMS, that Smith created the concept of the prudent man, to which characterizes the majority of people who live in society; that the prudent man of Adam Smith is much different than homo economicus neoclassic; and, mainly, that the Smithian view of self-love is impregnated of moral connotations, once which goes far beyond mere self-interest for material wealth. / A presente dissertação - por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica fundamentada principalmente na leitura da Teoria dos Sentimentos Morais e na Riqueza das Nações - investiga a conexão entre a filosofia moral de Smith e a sua abordagem em relação aos princípios humanos que norteiam a busca individual por melhorar a própria condição de vida. Para alcançar este objetivo são analisadas algumas das bases Filosóficas do autor (estoicos, Hutcheson, Hume) e estudados os conceitos chaves presentes em seus dois livros de modo a defender o ponto de vista de que a Riqueza das Nações é uma continuidade da Teoria dos Sentimentos Morais. Dentre as principais lições aprendidas, a partir do estudo da obra de Adam Smith, está a de que ele cultivou, em sua vida pessoal, as qualidades que na TSM ele considerava definidoras de um caráter excelente: sobriedade, temperança, justeza e magnanimidade; que foi através dos conceitos de simpatia e espectador imparcial, criados e desenvolvidos na TSM, que Smith criou o conceito do homem prudente, o qual caracteriza a maioria das pessoas que vivem em sociedade; que o homem prudente de Adam Smith é muito diferente do homo economicus neoclássico; e, principalmente, que a visão smithiana de selflove está impregnada de conotações morais, uma vez que vai muito além do mero auto interesse por riquezas materiais.
