The Theory of Moral Sentiments - Early Modern Texts
The Theory of Moral SentimentsAdam SmithCopyright Jonathan Bennett 2017. All rights reserved[Brackets]enclose editorial explanations. Small dots enclose material that has been added, but can be read asthough it were part of the original text. Occasional bullets, and also indenting of passages that are not quotations,are meant as aids to grasping the structure of a sentence or a thought. Every four-point ellipsis .. indicates theomission of a brief passage that seems to present more difficulty than it is worth. Longer omissions are reportedbetween brackets in normal-sized type. In Adam Smith s day a sentiment could be anything on a spectrumwith feelings at one end and opinions at the other. This work of his is strongly tilted in the feeling direction [seeespecially the chapter starting on page 168), but throughout the present version the word sentiment will be leftuntouched.]
