About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Adam Smith's "Theory of Moral Sentiments," published in 1759, is a foundational work in the field of ethics and moral philosophy. In this book, Smith explores the origins and nature of human morality, emphasizing the role of sympathy and empathy in shaping our moral judgments and behaviors.
Smith argues that individuals are inherently social beings, and our moral judgments are influenced by our ability to imagine the feelings and perspectives of others. He introduces the concept of the "impartial spectator," an imaginary observer who serves as a benchmark for assessing the moral worth of our actions. According to Smith, our desire for social approval and our pursuit of self-interest are balanced by a natural sense of sympathy for others.
Through a detailed examination of human emotions, moral virtues, and the concept of justice, Smith lays the groundwork for his later work on economics in "The Wealth of Nations." "Theory of Moral Sentiments" offers valuable insights into the moral and emotional underpinnings of human behavior, contributing significantly to the development of moral philosophy and social sciences.
