亚当·斯密的《道德情操论》（1759）为一般的道德体系奠定了基础，是道德和政治思想史上的重要著作。它提出了一种想象理论，这是史密斯从休谟那里衍生出来的，但其中包含了一种同情的思想，在某种程度上，这比休谟哲学中的任何东西都要复杂。通过同情和一个公正的旁观者的心理构造，史密斯提出了关于良心、道德判断和美德的高度原创的理论。他的著作留下的不朽遗产是对启蒙思想的重建，即道德或社会科学，包括政治经济学、法律和政府理论。这个2002年的卷提供了一个新的版本，为学生读者提供了清晰和有用的注释，连同一个实质性的介绍，设置在其哲学和历史背景下的工作。
Adam Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759) lays the foundation for a general system of morals, and is a text of central importance in the history of moral and political thought. It presents a theory of the imagination which Smith derived from David Hume but which encompasses an idea of sympathy that in some ways is more sophisticated than anything in Hume's philosophy. By means of sympathy and the mental construct of an impartial spectator, Smith formulated highly original theories of conscience, moral judgment and the virtues. The enduring legacy of his work is its reconstruction of the Enlightenment idea of a moral, or social, science encompassing both political economy and the theory of law and government. This 2002 volume offers a new edition of the text with clear and helpful notes for the student reader, together with a substantial introduction that sets the work in its philosophical and historical context.
