{"product_id":"adam-smith-s-incomplete-system","title":"Adam Smith’s Incomplete System","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn his deathbed, Adam Smith ordered the burning of two unfinished works on epistemology and politics, fearing that his image as a philosopher would be tarnished and his ideas misinterpreted. This book argues that the inability to complete these two works is symptomatic of tensions for which Smith found no resolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe loss of Smith’s final manuscripts led to a century and a half of deliberate neglect from philosophers and misinterpretation from economists. The book reconstructs the lost works from fragments, lecture notes, correspondence, and chapters from published works. It also examines the reasons for changes in various editions of the \u003cem\u003eTheory of Moral Sentiments\u003c\/em\u003e, and explores the hybrid argumentative strategy employed in the \u003cem\u003eWealth of Nations\u003c\/em\u003e. The output serves as a map of a coherent system addressing the same questions as Kant and venturing onto the path later taken by the pragmatists. This roadmap will guide twenty-first-century readers through Smith’s work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is essential reading for Adam Smith specialists, historians of economic thought and philosophers of science.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55476761493848,"sku":"9781041045779","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781041045779.jpg?v=1770525944","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/adam-smith-s-incomplete-system","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
