This 2010 text pursues Adam Smith's views on moral judgement,
humanitarian care, commerce, justice and international law both in
historical context and through a twenty-first-century cosmopolitan
lens, making this a major contribution not only to Smith studies
but also to the history of cosmopolitan thought and to contemporary
cosmopolitan discourse itself. Forman-Barzilai breaks ground,
demonstrating the spatial texture of Smith's moral psychology and
the ways he believed that physical, affective and cultural distance
constrain the identities, connections and ethical obligations of
modern commercial people. Forman-Barzilai emphasizes his resistance
to the sort of relativism, moral insularity and cultural chauvinism
that too often accompany localist critiques of cosmopolitan thought
today. This is a fascinating, revisionist study that integrates the
perspectives of intellectual history, moral philosophy, political
theory, cultural theory, international relations theory and
political economy, and will appeal across the humanities and social
sciences.
