Philosophy of Adam Smith – Oxford
The Philosophy of Adam Smith: A conference to commemorate the 250th anniversary of The Theory of Moral Sentiments — Jan. 6-8, 2009, Balliol College, Oxford. Organised by the International Adam Smith Society and The Adam Smith Review.
This conference, to be held at the college Smith himself attended from 1740-46, and at the beginning of the year marking the 250th anniversary of the publication of The Theory of Moral Sentiments, will provide an opportunity to re-evaluate the significance of Smith’s moral philosophy and moral psychology, the relationship between them and his other writings on economics, politics, jurisprudence, history, and rhetoric and belles lettres, and the relevance of his thought to current research in these areas.
