Author: Adam Smith

Language: English
This book sets forth a theory of how we come to be moral, of how this morality functions on both individual and societal levels, and of what forces are likely to corrupt our sense of morality. The main point that Smith makes is that our sense of morality is derived from our capacity to sympathize directly and indirectly with other people. We wish both to be praised and to be worthy of this praise, as well as to avoid both blame and blame-worthiness. On account of these interests, we must learn to temper our reactions to other people, as well as our reactions to fortune: we are naturally more interested in our own affairs than anyone else is. Our actions are liable to become overblown and unacceptable unless we temper our egos and see ourselves in the same light in which society at large sees us. Smith believes in a benevolent and omniscient God, and concludes from this belief that our behavior is inherently moral.
