Adam Smith is best known as the founder of scientific economics and
as an early proponent of the modern market economy. Political
economy, however, was only one part of Smith's comprehensive
intellectual system. Consisting of a theory of mind and its
functions in language, arts, science, and social intercourse,
Smith's system was a towering contribution to the Scottish
Enlightenment. His ideas on social intercourse also served as the
basis for a moral theory that provided both historical and
theoretical accounts of law, politics, and economics. This
Companion volume provides an examination of all aspects of Smith's
thought. Collectively, the essays take into account Smith's
multiple contexts - Scottish, British, European, Atlantic;
biographical, institutional, political, philosophical - and they
draw on all of his works, including student notes from his
lectures. Pluralistic in approach, the volume provides a
contextualist history of Smith, as well as direct philosophical
engagement with his ideas.
