Description

1. Introduction David Hume and Adam Smith had profound insights into some of the key features of politics, morality, and society in the then-emerging modern world. This paper will indicate and elaborate upon some of those insights, with a view to showing their continuing significance for the case for the market and a liberal political order. Many of those insights were of a moral-psychological character. I use the expression "moral psychology" broadly to refer to features of motivation, morally relevant attitudes and responses, the role of sensibility, self-regard and regard for others, and the like. Moral-psychological matters are crucial to understanding human activity in general--people's judgments, decisions, and actions, and also such things as the structure, content, and justification of moral claims and moral theorizing. Indeed, I would argue that ultimately a plausible political theory depends upon a plausible moral psychology. Unless conceptions of and ideals of institutional arrangements are based upon a realistic moral psychology, they will be inadequately underwritten, and potentially very mischievous, as well.
