    TCC (graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Centro Sócio-Econômico. Economia.Analisaremos aqui as relações existentes entre duas obras de Adam Smith, Teoria dos Sentimentos Morais (TSM) e Riqueza das Nações (RN), e a conseqüente relação entre moral e economia. Na primeira parte analisaremos as teses de Smith sobre filosofia moral (TSM) e economia política (RN). Na segunda parte analisaremos seletivamente a controvertida recensão dessas teses, o que ficou conhecido na história do pensamento econômico como “Das Adam Smith Problem”. Essa recensão dividi-se basicamente em duas interpretações: a primeira considera que entre a TSM e a RN haveria uma ruptura no pensamento de Smith, a segunda considera que existe uma unidade entre ambas as obras. Com relação à primeira interpretação, selecionamos a análise de Louis Dumont. E como contraponto, selecionamos a interpretação de Jean-Pierre Dupuy. Advogando a tese da unidade entre as obra de Smith, esse trabalho mostra as relações existentes entre a filosofia moral e economia para Adam Smith

President’s message Stories that reveal the heart of SLU ASLU faculty member in occu-pational therapy is the first woman in history to compete on the U.S. Paralympic wheel-chair rugby team (page 6). A history professor has made a major dis-covery of an ancient Roman temple (page 10). Numerous faculty members have created new courses designed to ignite a lifelong pro-cess of curiosity and learning in the Ignatian tradition (page 18). And our club sports program offers every student a path to continue — or to discover — an engagement with athletics that supports their well-being, sense of community and con-nection to the natural world (page 14). When I talk to students about why they love Saint Louis University, they often tell me that it is because our commitment to mission is real — that “higher purpose, greater good” is more than a tagline. This issue of Universitas highlights many of the ways that we are delivering on our com-mitment to pursue truth, to re-imagine what is possible and to foster communities where all people thrive. SLU’s Catholic Studies Program is one distinctive example of our Catholic, Jesuit identity in action (page 28). It is a place where students are centered in their spiritual lives, integrating insights from across academic domains as they seek the presence of God in all things. Through numerous gatherings, dis-cussions and events, students can experience what it means to be part of a community that is expressly committed to seeking wholeness. As Billiken alumni, you know well: A SLU education expands our students’ worldviews, the opportunities they will find after gradu-ation and the sense of purpose they will bring to all aspects of their lives. Indeed, our University’s talented alumni continue to tell powerful stories that reflect t he exper iences and t he exper t ise they acquired in their years at SLU. Graduate Sharee (Brown) Silerio (A&S ’09), who worked on the Academy Award-winning documentary short film The Last Repair Shop, is dedicated to creating films that expand representation of Black women and girls (page 33). And alum John O’Leary’s (CSB ’99) story will soon be released asa motion picture filmed in part on our St. Louis campus (page 24). Not all of us will make movies, but we all have an essential role in the Billiken story. In the multiple ways that you contribute to your families, communities and professions — each one of your stories reflects the profound potential of our University’s noble mission. Thank you for continuing to bring SLU’s story to life. Fred P.

SARAH ADAM is an assistant professor of occupational science and occupational ther-apy at Saint Louis University, but her recent achievement is more about making history than teaching health science. Adam became the first woman named to the U.S. Paralympic wheelchair rugby team earlier this year. And in September, that team took silver in the 2024 Paris Paralympic games.Eight teams — including France, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Great Britain and Japan — competed at the 2024 Paralympics. Adam played a key role for Team USA. She was in the starting lineup when the team kicked off its campaign on Aug. 29 with a 51-48 win against Canada, scoring six times in the victory. In the final match, she and co-captain Chuck Aoki led Team USA with 14 tries. (Tries are worth one point each.) However, Japan won 48-41, claiming gold.USA Wheelchair Rugby (USAWR) announced in May that Adam would be one of 12 athletes to represent the United States at the 2024 Paralympic Games. She was selected from an elite 16-person national training squad competing to earn a spot on the roster.“It’s an honor to be named to a Paralympic team and repre-sent Team USA at the elite level of our sport,” Adam said. “To be the first female to do it, during a time where women in sports is exploding in popularity, just elevates that honor.”PARALYMPICMETTLE– by Bridjes O’NeilA SLU PROFESSOR IS THE FIRST WOMAN TO MAKE THE U.S. PARALYMPIC WHEELCHAIR RUGBY TEAM.

SARAH CONROY SARAH CONROY SARAH CONROY Adam (right) teaches students about wheelchair rugby during the DASA event in April. Although wheelchair rugby has been a mixed-gender sport (with men and women competing together) since it debuted at the 2000 Paralympics in Sydney, the sport has been dominated by men. At the Paralympics in 2021, only four of the 96 athletes were female. That number doubled to eight in Paris. “To be able to compete amongst the best of the best in our sport, par-ticularly as a female playing against mostly men, I have focused a lot on being in peak physical shape,” Adam said. “I spent many hours at the Simon Rec Center getting ready.” Adam had a unique introduction to the sport as an “able-bodied volunteer” for the Disabled Athlete Sports Association (DASA) in 2013, when she was a graduate student. DASA offers the biggest selection of disabled competitive team sports and Parasport opportunities in the SARAH CONROY Adam (center) makes history as the frst woman to compete on the U.S. Paralympic wheelchair rugby team versus Canada in Paris on Aug. 29. Midwest. Adam connected with the community and attended develop-ment events — as both a coach-in-training and a referee. A year later, after noticing difficulty walking, gripping items, numb-ness in her hands and bouts of fatigue, Adam was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. She began playing wheelchair rugby recreationally in 2017 and competitively in 2019. Adam describes her style of play as “cerebral,” viewing wheelchair rugby as a large chess match, aiming to always be three moves ahead of her opponents. She hopes a documentary about her team’s journey to Paris in 2024 will inspire others and shed light on the adaptive sports movement. Adam (right) shows her Paralympic silver medal to colleague Emma Edwards on her frst day back to campus on Sept. 9. Adam’s medal SARAH CONROY AP PHOTO / MICHEL EULER “I was initially drawn to the combination of physicality and strategy involved in wheelchair rugby,” Adam said. “I’ve found that there is also a great community of athletes in Parasport who support each other not just on the court but off the court. I’ve seen Parasport truly help trans-form people’s lives by connecting them back to some sense of normalcy and a community of like-minded individuals. It’s a great community to be a part of.” Adam made her international debut at the Americas Championship in 2022, where the team won gold, and later that year won a silver medal at the world championships. In 2023, she was part of the gold medal-winning Parapan American Games team that secured USA Wheelchair Rugby a spot for Paris 2024. She also became the first American woman to win Parapan American Games gold in wheelchair rugby. USAWR is the most decorated Paralympic wheelchair rugby program in history and the only one to be awarded at all Paralympic Games since the sport was added to the event roster in Sydney. The United States has won silver medals at the past three Paralympic Games: Rio 2016, Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024. 8 UNIVERSITAS / THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE OF SAINT LOUIS UNIVERSIT Y FALL 2024 9 FALL 2024 Spello is a picturesque village in Italy where the meandering cob-blestone streets are lined with baskets of flowers. Enclosed in a circuit of medieval stone walls and nestled in the verdant rolling hills of the central region of Umbria, Spello is considered one of the country’s most beautiful villages. The scenery, however, is not what attracted Dr. Douglas Boin to Spello. An expert in the religious transformation of the Roman Empire in the fourth cen-tury, the Saint Louis University history professor was drawn to the village by a piece of stone sitting in a room under a frescoed ceiling and dramatic lighting. The stone contains a rescript, a message from Emperor Constantine giving villagers permission to build a temple in Spello to celebrate a religious festival in their own town rather than making the long journey to another. The only condition was that the temple be dedicated to worshipping Constantine’s imperial ancestors. This rescript was produced at a time when the Roman Empire was straddling the lines between pagan and Christian religions. Over his many years of research into fourth-century antiquities, Boin came across articles and footnotes that mentioned the rescript, which was discov-ered in the 1700s near Villa Fidelia, a resplendent Renaissance home built outside Spello’s walls. “It’s a trophy piece and by far the most famous piece of antiquity to come from Spello,” he said. “It sparked my interest because anytime you can see something written, whether on paper or stone, it can bridge a gap in time and help us make sense of history. So, my colleagues and I decided to take a road trip to see it.” The Latin inscription on the rescript references a temple of opere magnifico, roughly translated as “splendid endeavor.” After seeing the rescript, Boin and colleagues stopped for a glass of wine and began to muse. Where was this splendid temple erected? What did it look like? How did it impress itself on the village at that time?
