Adam Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759) lays the foundation for a general system of morals, and is a text of central importance in the history of moral and political thought. By means of the idea of sympathy and the mental construct of an impartial spectator, Smith formulated highly original theories of conscience, moral judgment and the virtues. This volume offers a new edition of the text with helpful notes for the student reader, together with a substantial introduction that sets the work in its philosophical and historical context.

* The story of 'alternative' medicine - and why it is so popular* Lays bare the distinctions between 'alternative', 'complementary' and 'orthodox' medicine and explains how these distinctions arose* Uses a wealth of illuminating and entertaining historical examples, from horse-racing English earls to desperate missionaries in 17th century Indonesia, from hypnotism in the British Raj to homeopathy in the American 'Wild West'* Shows how the medical systems of China, India, and the west - both mainstream and alternative - have influenced each other over the centuries Walk into the local health food shop or pick up today's paper and the chances are that you'll see adverts for acupuncture and herbal medicine, hypnotists and homeopaths. Some doctors and scientists mourn the lost lustre of mainstream medicine and complain about a new breed of 'irrational' consumer.But what exactly is 'alternative' medicine? Is the astonishing popularity of alternative and multicultural medicine really such a recent development? And, given the success story of modern biomedical science, why are alternative and traditional treatments now so fashionable? Has the impersonal chill of high-tech medicine driven consumers into the arms of charismatic quacks? Or is it the cost of western medicine that makes its competitors look so attractive? Do patients seek hope, holism, or just the thrill of rebellion?This book seeks answers to all these questions and more. Comparing the medical systems of China, India, and the west - both mainstream and alternative - Roberta Bivins shows how medical expertise has migrated from one culture to another. From acupuncture in Regency England to homeopathy in the 'Wild West', Bivins unearths the roots of today's distinctions between alternative, complementary, and orthodox medicine, and shows how popular interest in medical alternatives - often of exotic origin - is a phenomenon with a long and fascinating pedigree.

Le propos de ce livre est d'étudier la tradition spécifiquement européenne du libéralisme. Contrairement à une opinion répandue, le libéralisme n'est pas un phénomène essentiellement anglo-saxon. Il est représenté dans tous les grands pays d'Europe depuis l'aube des Temps modernes jusqu'au XXe siècle - France, Allemagne, Italie, Pays-Bas, Autriche, Espagne... Dans tous ces pays, il jaillit de la souche commune de la civilisation européenne, à savoir la synthèse opérée au Moyen Age entre les traditions politiques et juridiques gréco-romaines et la morale judéo-chrétienne. Puis il prend forme à la faveur d'un bouillonnement d'idées qui agite tout le continent de la Renaissance aux Lumières et au-delà. L'ouvrage recueille les travaux d'un séminaire co-organisé par le Centre de recherche en Philosophie économique (CREPHE) de l'ESCP-EAP et le Centre de recherche en Épistémologie appliquée (CRÉA) de l'Ecole Polytechnique, auquel ont participé plusieurs dizaines de chercheurs venant de huit pays.

This book retraces the history of macroeconomics from Keynes's General Theory to the present. Central to it is the contrast between a Keynesian era and a Lucasian - or dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) - era, each ruled by distinct methodological standards. In the Keynesian era, the book studies the following theories: Keynesian macroeconomics, monetarism, disequilibrium macro (Patinkin, Leijongufvud, and Clower) non-Walrasian equilibrium models, and first-generation new Keynesian models. Three stages are identified in the DSGE era: new classical macro (Lucas), RBC modelling, and second-generation new Keynesian modeling. The book also examines a few selected works aimed at presenting alternatives to Lucasian macro. While not eschewing analytical content, Michel De Vroey focuses on substantive assessments, and the models studied are presented in a pedagogical and vivid yet critical way.
