Adam Smith's theory on morals provides the philosophical bedrock
for his future works on economics, including his most famous book
The Wealth of Nations. Published in 1759, this work sees Smith
follow the lead of his tutor and mentor Francis Hutcheson. He
divides his ethical examinations into four broad categories: ethics
and virtue; private rights and natural liberties; rights of the
family; and state and individual rights. Although lesser known
compared to Adam Smith's later works, The Theory of Moral
Sentiments is an influential work of philosophy in its own right,
with the greatest effect being upon its author.
