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.
From the acclaimed poet behind bone, an exploration of how we can
meet our truest selves, the ones we've always been meant to become
Yrsa Daley-Ward's words have resonated with hundreds of thousands
of readers--through her books of poetry and memoir, bone and The
Terrible; through her writing for Beyonce on Black Is King; and
through her always illuminating Instagram posts. Now, in The How,
Yrsa encourages readers to begin, as she puts it, the great work of
meeting ourselves. This isn't the self we've built up in response
to our surroundings, or the self we manufacture to please the
people around us, but instead, our most intimate self, the one we
visit in dreams, the one that calls to us from a glimmering future.
With a mix of short lyrical musings and her signature stunning
poetry, Yrsa gently takes readers by the hand, encouraging them to
join her as she explores how we can remove our filters, and see and
feel more of who we really are behind the preconceived notions of
propriety and manners we've accumulated with age. With a beautiful
design and intriguing meditations, The How can be used to start
conversations, to prompt writing, to delve deeper--whether you're
solo, or with friends, on your feet or writing from the solace of
home.
