This book brings together a significant body of work by Tatsuya
Sakamoto, a leading Japanese scholar of the history of social and
economic thought, showcasing his major contributions to the study
of David Hume, Adam Smith, and the Scottish Enlightenment. One of
Sakamoto's persistent interests is in both philosophy and
economics, which is of much importance for Hume scholars. Many
"Humeans" has been interested in Hume's economic thought, although
the latter has often been discussed separately from his philosophy.
Sakamoto has attempted to grasp Hume's social philosophy under the
concept of "Hume's philosophical economics" or his "system of
manners". Sakamoto has also contributed to Hume's biographical
research, such as the dating of Hume's manuscript and the discovery
of an additional proof of his anonymous review of Smith's Theory of
Moral Sentiments. Sakamoto's extensive knowledge and interest
covers Adam Smith as well as Francis Hutcheson, with special focus
on the genesis of economics and the development of moral theory in
the Scottish Enlightenment. Also, Sakamoto has exhibited his
lifelong interest in the intersection between the West and the East
in modern intellectual history and the final section of the book
explores how Smith's ideas have influenced Japanese intellectuals
since the early Meiji period. This book will be of great interest
to scholars and students of the history of economic thought, Hume
studies, and intellectual history more broadly.
