Von der hinteren Coverseite

‘This excellent volume deepens our understanding of the relationship between the ideas and arguments of Smith and Rousseau, and succeeds in making it clear that our understanding of each of these hugely important philosophers depends to a significant extent on our understanding of the other.’James Harris, University of St AndrewsLooks at all aspects of the pivotal intellectual relationship between two key figures of the EnlightenmentJean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778) and Adam Smith (1723–1790) are two of the foremost thinkers of the European Enlightenment, thinkers who made seminal contributions to moral and political philosophy and who shaped some of the key concepts of modern political economy. Though we have no solid evidence that they met in person, we do know that they shared many friends and interlocutors, particularly David Hume, who was Smith’s closest intellectual associate and who arranged for Rousseau’s stay in England in 1766.This collection brings together an international and interdisciplinary group of Adam Smith and Rousseau scholars to explore the key shared concerns of these two great thinkers in politics, philosophy, economics, history and literature.Maria Pia Paganelli is Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at Trinity University, San Antonio, Texas.Dennis C.
