Many philosophers famously did so, including Mary Wollstonecraft, Thomas Paine, and John Millar, among others, but less known are Sophie de Grouchy's own contributions, presented here alone in translation. Grouchy (1764-1822) published her \u003cem\u003eLetters on Sympathy \u003c\/em\u003ein 1798 together with her French translation of \u003cem\u003eThe Theory of Moral Sentiments\u003c\/em\u003e. While Grouchy's \u003cem\u003eLetters\u003c\/em\u003e mainly engage critically with Smith's philosophical analysis of sympathy, they offer valuable perspectives and original thoughts about the relationship of emotional and moral development to legal, economic, and political reform. In particular, Grouchy sought to understand how the mechanisms of sympathy could help the development of new social and political institutions after the revolution. Her \u003cem\u003eLetters\u003c\/em\u003e further contain profound reflections on the dangers of demagoguery, the nature of tragedy, and the roles of love and friendship. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThough ostensibly a commentary on Smith, the \u003cem\u003eLetters\u003c\/em\u003e stand in their own right as significant and original contributions to political philosophy. This new translation by Sandrine Berg鑚 of a text by a forgotten female philosopher illuminates new inroads to Enlightenment and feminist thought and reveals insights that were far ahead of their time. The volume includes a critical introduction, explanatory notes, and a glossary of terms to provide critical and historical analysis for the novice reader.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sandrine Berg鑚, Sandrine Berg舖\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0190637099\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190637095\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/14\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.60d","brand":"Sandrine Berg鑚","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981474169087,"sku":"9780190637095","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2366677c-ba88-4350-a575-f1908c193ad3.jpg?v=1683255790","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sophie-de-grouchys-letters-on-sandrine-bergs-9780190637095","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
