ADAM SMITH'S OPTIMISTIC TELEOLOGICAL VIEW OF HISTORY
No full textAdam Smith's four-stage theory provides the framework for his writings on history. The fourth stage is the commercial epoch; the culmination of history in this stage is a key component in the conventional interpretation of Adam Smith as a prophet of commercialism. In two historical case studies Smith shows the capacity of commercial society to regenerate itself. This potent capacity suggests that commercial society is inevitable. At a certain point in time it also overcomes the major obstacles to its permanence. Smith's philosophy of history anticipates the end of history views of Kant and Hegel.Political Economy,
Anthony Ashley Cooper Shaftesbury: Three Stoic Exercises
No full textTrzy ćwiczenia stoickie to dokonany przez Adama Grzelińskiego pierwszy polski przekład trzech fragmentów z notatników Anthony’ego Ashleya Coopera Shaftesbury’ego: Charakter i postępowanie ze sobą, Skupienie i rozluźnienie oraz Czynienie postępów, wchodzących w skład zbioru zatytułowanego Askêmata. Teksty te przekonują, że treść owych notatników nie tylko dopełnia treść opublikowanego przez filozofia zbioru Characteristics of Men, Manners, Opinions, Times, ale przede wszystkim ma charakter ćwiczeń moralnych, w których w formie solilokwium Shaftesbury komentuje dzieła stoików: Epikteta i Marka Aureliusza.Three Stoic Exercises is the first Polish translation, done by Adam Grzeliński, of three excerpts from Shaftesbury’s notebooks: Character and Conduct, Attention and Relaxation, and Improvement being part included in the collection entitled Askêmata. These texts prove that these notebooks not only complement the contents of Characteristics of Men, Manners, Opinions, and Times, the three-volume set which made Shaftesbury a famous and influential philosopher, but they are to be seen mainly as a kind of moral exercises and soliloquies in which Shaftesbury comments the works of the stoics: Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius
How Might Adam Smith Pay Professors Today?
No full textAdam Smith’s proposal for paying professors was intended to induce increased faculty knowledge. If students have imperfect information about what they learn, and universities can only imperfectly measure the input of faculty time in student learning, publications may be used to measure faculty knowledge. If professors’ ability to publish is positively related to their ability to produce student learning, which universities can imperfectly measure, publications may be necessary to attract more able professors. Since research signals faculty knowledge, schools that do not value publications per se could require higher publication standards and pay higher wages than schools that value only publications.
ADAM SMITH'S VIEW OF HISTORY: CONSISTENT OR PARADOXICAL?
No full textThe conventional interpretation of Adam Smith is that he is a prophet of commercialism. The liberal capitalist reading of Smith is consistent with the view that history culminates in commercial society. The first part of the article develops this optimistic interpretation of Smith's view of history. Smith implies that commercial society is the end of history because 1) it supplies the ends of nature that he identifies; 2) it is inevitable; and 3) it is permanent. The second part of the article shows that Smith has some dark moments in his writings where he seems to reject completely such teleological notions. In this more civic humanist mood he confesses that commercial society does not supply the ends of nature, nor is it inevitable, nor is it permanent. Both views exist in Smith and the commentator is forced to choose between passages in Smith's work in order to support a particular interpretation of the former's view of history.Political Economy,
Siris and Berkeley’s Late Social Philosophy
No full textIn the present article, I aim at showing a shift in Berkeley’s understanding of society in the late Siris (1744). Although the work is primarily devoted to the curative qualities of tar-water and on the speculative level develops a new neoplatonic metaphysic of light, it should also be seen as a work in which Berkeley’s mature philosophy is expressed as a whole. Together with the fact that since the thirties Berkeley thought was more inclined towards practical, i.e. economic and social, issues, this might be a premise for interpreting the Siris as a work in which a vision of society is presented. The parallelism of nature and society, of macrocosm and microcosm, and the claim that nature is not perfect, but is a dynamic, developing whole, makes it possible to treat society as an imperfect whole developed and perfected by human activity. If such a reading is correct it evidences the fact that in his Siris Berkeley abandoned the religious radicalism typical for his early works.Nicolaus Copernicus University, ToruńAiraksinen, T., Light and Causality in “Siris”, in: Berkeley’s Lasting Legacy. 300 Years Later, ed.
