Description
The Other Adam Smith represents a fresh perspective on the work of this influential Enlightenment thinker. By examining his entire corpus, Mike Hill and Warren Montag uncover a comprehensive system of thought that extends far beyond economic and moral philosophy. This book presents Adam Smith as a philosopher, literary critic, historian, and anthropologist, shedding new light on his ideas. Placed in relation to key thinkers such as Hume, Lord Kames, Fielding, Hayek, Von Mises, and Agamben, The Other Adam Smith reveals the enduring relevance of Smith's work. Far from being localized in the history of eighteenth-century economic thought, this book positions Smith at the center of contentious debates in modern philosophy. This book offers a nuanced understanding of Adam Smith's ideas, challenging readers to reconsider their assumptions about his work and its continued impact on contemporary thought.
