Adam Smiths Theorie der ethischen Gefühle (1759) erfährt seit einigen Jahren zunehmende Beachtung. Dafür gibt es gute Gründe. Smith beschäftigt sich nicht nur mit der Frage nach vernünftigen Gründen für moralisches Handeln, sondern auch und vor allem mit moralischen Gefühlen und einer entsprechenden moralischen Erziehung. Seine Theorie bietet daher eine viel versprechende Alternative zu den in vergangenen Debatten oft zitierten Theorien von David Hume und Immanuel Kant. Ausgehend von der Moralphilosophie des vornehmlich als Nationalökonom bekannten Adam Smith lässt sich zudem ein perspektivenreicher Beitrag zu aktuellen Debatten (Liberalismus, Wirtschaftsethik) entwickeln. Der Band mit Beiträgen namhafter Moralphilosophen und Adam-Smith-Forscher dokumentiert die vielfältigen Perspektiven, aus denen die Moralphilosophie von Adam Smith heute besonderes Interesse verdient. For several years now, Adam Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759) has been attracting increasing attention. Smith is concerned not only with the question of rational grounds for moral action, but also and above all with moral feelings and a corresponding moral education. Thus his theory offers a promising alternative to the theories of David Hume and Immanuel Kant, which have often been cited in past debates. Working from the moral philosophy of Adam Smith, who is known principally as a political economist, it is possible to develop a many-facetted contribution to present-day debates (liberalism, business ethics). This volume, with papers by renowned moral philosophers and Adam Smith scholars, documents the various perspectives from which Adam Smith's moral philosophy is of particular interest today.

Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations has been among the world books for over two hundred years and has gathered a mythology, which does scant justice to the actual book. One reason for this was that the Wealth of Nations was one of a series of studies through which Smith hoped to complete his system of moral, social and natural philosophy.

The Individual in Society illustrates this system, especially in relation to Smith's other major work, The Theory of Moral Sentiments and examines its relation to the Wealth of Nations. Included are:
