Western philosophy: c 1600 to c 1900

2023 marks the 300th anniversary of the birth of Adam Smith. Long known as the 'father of economics', Smith also produced moral and political writings which have increasingly come to be recognised as major contributions to the Scottish, and indeed wider European, Enlightenment. In this collection of original essays, leading Smith scholars offer fresh perspectives on how to think about Smith's ideas, the nature and importance of his works, and their impact upon subsequent thinkers and ultimately the world we live in. Bringing together both leading experts and some of the most exciting new voices in the field, this collection seeks both to celebrate and deepen our appreciation of what Adam Smith has to teach us.

Reviews for Interpreting Adam Smith: Critical Essays

'The volume opens several 'paths to access Smith' and offers invaluable tools for thinking about a 'classic' which we read 'with prior fervor and mysterious loyalty', to use the formulation of Jorge Luis Borges.' Jerónimo Rilla, Archives de philosophie
