{"product_id":"the-theory-moral-sentiments-adam-smith","title":"The Theory Moral Sentiments (Adam Smith)","description":"The foundation for a general system of morals, this 1749 work is a landmark in the history of moral and political thought. Readers familiar with Adam Smith from \u003cem\u003eThe Wealth of Nations\u003c\/em\u003e will find this earlier book a revelation. Although the author is often misrepresented as a calculating rationalist who advises the pursuit of self-interest in the marketplace, regardless of the human cost, he was also interested in the human capacity for benevolence — as \u003cem\u003eThe Theory of Moral Sentiments\u003c\/em\u003e amply demonstrates.\n\nThe greatest prudence, Smith suggests, may lie in following economic self-interest in order to secure the basic necessities. This is only the first step, however, toward the much higher goal of achieving a morally virtuous life. Smith elaborates upon a theory of the imagination inspired by the philosophy of David Hume. His reasoning takes Hume’s logic a step further by proposing a more sophisticated notion of sympathy, leading to a series of highly original theories involving conscience, moral judgment, and virtue. Smith's legacy consists of his reconstruction of the Enlightenment idea of a moral, or social, science that embraces both political economy and the theory of law and government. His articulate expression of his philosophy continues to inspire and challenge modern readers.\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unlike most of the books in our store, this book is in English.\n\u003cstrong\u003eUyarı:\u003c\/strong\u003e Agora Bilim Pazarı'ndaki diğer birçok kitabın aksine, bu kitap İngilizcedir.","brand":"Panama","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47957405860095,"sku":"SB-B-000580","price":400.0,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0773\/8287\/7439\/files\/b91a2799ab4569603811019cac867046.jpg?v=1778921739","url":"https:\/\/agora.evrimagaci.org\/products\/the-theory-moral-sentiments-adam-smith","provider":"Agora Bilim Pazarı","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
