TOTO FRANCESCO
(syllabus)
During the workshop, students will read, present in class and comment together on the first four parts of Adam Smith's ‘Treatise on Moral Sentiments’. In doing so, they will discuss the foundations of Smith's theory of sympathy, its main anthropological and moral implications, and its tensions or difficulties. Smith's theory will also be compared with his main interlocutors, in particular Hume and Lord Kames, and with his main - and at least apparent - polemical targets, such as Hobbes and Mandeville.
