Can we have objective knowledge of the world? Can we understand
what is morally right or wrong? Yes, to some extent. This is the
answer given by Adam Smith and Edmund Husserl. Both rejected David
Hume s skeptical account of what we can hope to understand. But
they held his empirical method in high regard, inquiring into the
way we perceive and emotionally experience the world, into the
nature and function of human empathy and sympathy and the role of
the imagination in processes of intersubjective understanding. The
challenge is to overcome the natural constraints of perceptual and
emotional experience and reach an agreement that is informed by the
facts in the world and the nature of morality. This collection of
philosophical essays addresses an audience of Smith- and Husserl
scholars as well as everybody interested in theories of objective
knowledge and proper morality which are informed by the way we
perceive and think and communicate."
