| Summary | "The Essays of Adam Smith" by Adam Smith is a collection of philosophical essays written in the 18th century. This work explores a variety of topics including moral sentiments, the formation of languages, and inquiries into astronomy and the arts. It delves into human nature, ethics, and the principles guiding social behavior, aiming to articulate the psychological mechanisms underlying human interactions. The opening of this collection introduces the foundational theme of moral sentiments, focusing on the concept of sympathy. Smith asserts that human beings possess inherent principles that connect them to the fortunes of others, allowing for feelings of compassion and a shared emotional experience. He elaborates on how individuals gauge the emotional states of others by relating their feelings to their own, highlighting the interplay between one's internal feelings and the actions of others. The essay sets the stage for a rich exploration of how our sentiments shape our perceptions of propriety, justice, and moral reasoning throughout the collection.
