Key Insights from The Theory of Moral Sentiments
- Adam Smith emphasizes the importance of sympathy, arguing that our moral judgments are largely influenced by our ability to understand and share the feelings of others. This capacity for empathy acts as a foundation for moral interaction and societal cohesion.
- The concept of the 'impartial spectator' is central to Smith's moral philosophy, serving as an internal guide for individuals to evaluate their own actions against societal norms. This perspective encourages personal moral accountability and reflection on one's impact on others.
