Title: Adam Smith and the virtues of enlightenment
First published: 1999
Description: "Charles Griswold has written the first comprehensive philosophical study of Smith's moral and political thought. Griswold sets Smith's work in the context of the continuing debate about the nature and survival of the Enlightenment, and also relates it to current discussions in moral philosophy." "This is a major historical and philosophical reassessment of a key figure in the Enlightenment that will be of particular interest to philosophers and political and legal theorists, as well as historians of ideas, economics, and political economy."--Jacket.
