{"product_id":"adam-smiths-the-theory-of-john-mchugh-9781350088573","title":"Adam Smith's \"The Theory of Moral Sentiments\": A Critical Commentary","description":"Many contemporary readers are just now discovering Adam Smith's \u003ci\u003eThe Theory of Moral Sentiments\u003c\/i\u003e(\u003ci\u003eTMS\u003c\/i\u003e). It is increasingly being recognised as a foundational text in moral philosophy and in Adam Smith's oeuvre more generally. This is the first companion to guide readers through \u003ci\u003eTMS\u003c\/i\u003e and uncover what Smith thinks, why he thinks it, why he might be wrong to think it! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile Adam Smith is best known for a \u003ci\u003eWealth of Nations\u003c\/i\u003e there is a history of seriously misinterpreting this text as an unnuanced celebration of unfettered capitalism. \u003ci\u003eThe Theory of Moral Sentiments\u003c\/i\u003e is a kind of corrective to these na?e readings. As such, any serious consideration of Adam Smith's work should also include \u003ci\u003eTMS\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn McHugh's guide provides detailed analysis of \u003ci\u003eTMS\u003c\/i\u003ewhile never losing sight of the text in the context of Smith's writings and world view more generally. It offers both an introduction to the importance and insight of \u003ci\u003eTMS\u003c\/i\u003ewhile also functioning as a great way in to Adam Smith as a philosopher.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John McHugh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350088579\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350088573\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/07\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.88d","brand":"John McHugh","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43983021736191,"sku":"9781350088573","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7ffcc7b4-6378-44a2-9cb4-be8d6af35405.jpg?v=1683264241","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/adam-smiths-the-theory-of-john-mchugh-9781350088573","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
