essays philosophical and literary

Book cover
Adam Smith is still justly regarded as the single most towering figure in the history of modern economics. His celebrated work on The Wealth of Nations captured the spirit of industrial capitalism, and presented its theoretical rationale in a form which dominated the thinking of the most influential political economists of the 19th century and which continues to inspire free market advocates to this day. But, his interests, embraced not only economics, ethics, political philosophy, and jurisprudence, but also literature (ancient and modern), linguistics, psychology, and the history of science. This text includes: The Theory of Moral Sentiments; The Formation of Language; Astronomical Inquiries; Ancient Physics; Ancient Logic and Metaphysics; the Imitative Arts-Music, Dancing, Poetry; the External Senses; and English and Italian Verses. Due to the age and scarcity of the original we reproduced, some pages may be spotty or difficult to read. There is sporadic underlining in some parts of the text.
