About this book

The Cambridge Companion to Adam Smith (Cambridge Companions to Philosophy) by Haakonssen, Knud. Paperback edition. ISBN: 9780521779241.

Although Adam Smith is best known as the founder of scientific economics and an early proponent of the modern market economy, political economy is only one part of his comprehensive intellectual system. Consisting of a theory of mind and its functions in language, arts, science and social intercourse, Smiths system was a towering contribution to the Scottish Enlightenment. This Companion provides an up-to-date examination of all aspects of Smiths thought. Collectively, the essays take into account his multiple contexts--Scottish, British, European, Atlantic, biographical, institutional, political and philosophical.
