  • The Risks of an Economic Agent: a Rousseauian Reading of Adam Smith
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Research Papers in Economics Rationality, preferences and irregular war/ 193 The risks of an economic agent: a Rousseauian reading of Adam Smith Jimena Hurtado P. Summary This article is a critical review of Adam Smiths notion of an economic agent. Using Jean Jacques Rousseaus arguments, I show the shortcomings of Smiths hypothesis regarding individuals economic behaviour within market society. The morals of sympathy, understood as a social theory and beyond the limitations Smith himself acknowledges, attempts to present the economic agent as a natural and unthreatening figure restricted to market transactions. A careful reading of Rousseau shows the historical character of Smiths construction, and thereby its failure to recognise the influence of social, cultural and economic development on the formation of this economic agent. Rousseau refuses the possibility of constructing economic theory based on this agent and denounces it as a way of justifying irresponsibility and tyranny. Two possible paths in economics are thus open: economics as an independent field of action or economics as a field regulated by politics. Keywords: Adam Smith, Jean Jacques Rousseau, economic agent, market society, economic analysis. JEL Classification: B1, B3, Z00. I would like to thank participants to PHAREs workshop on the Economic Agent for their questions and remarks on a first French version of this article. I had the opportunity of presenting a second version at the IVth Summer University of History of Economic Thought and Methodology Connaissance et Croyances en Histoire de la Pensée Economique, September 2001, Nice.

  • Rousseau and Smith: on Sympathy As a First Principle N6 PIERRE FORCE N7 12 at the Time
    - --- -- ---- ------------------------- THINKING WITH ROUSSEAU From Machiavelli to Schmitt EDITED BY HELENA ROSENBLATT AND PAUL SCHWEIGERT a CAMBRIDGE ~ UNIVERSITY PRESS II4 DAVID SORKIN Human Race. As Dominique Bourel suggested, Rousseau was "an interlocutor with whom [Mendelssohn] was in dialogue his entire CHAPTER 6 life_,, Yet after the initial five year encounter he was a silent inter­ locutor in an unspoken and heretofore largely unrecognized Rousseau and Smith: On Sympathy as conversation. a First Principle Pierre Force In the work ofAdam Smith explicit references to Rousseau are few. The only extended treatment of Rousseau's views happened very early in Smith's career. In 1756 Smith published a critical review of the Discourse on the Origin ofInequality, just a few months after the publication of the book.' Smith scholars have generally seen the review as negative, but its ambiguous tone has allowed for diverging interpretations. I was one of the first com­ mentators to argue, in a 1997 article2 and in a 2003 book,3 that Rousseau was an essential interlocutor for Smith and that the discussion of first principles in the Theory ofMoral Sentiments and the Wealth ofNations appropriated key elements of Rousseau's philosophy (Keith Tribe's review described my analysis of the Rousseau-Smith connection as a "hitheno unwritten book") .4 I will structure this article as a critical discussion. I will summarize the claims I made at the time regarding how Smith's discussion of first principles was indebted to Rousseau. I will then summarize the objections made to these claims in reviews of my 2003 book, and will attempt to advance the discussion by responding to these objections.

  • Bentham and the Scots J.H
    UCL Bentham Project Journal of Bentham Studies, vol. 7 (2004) Bentham and the Scots J.H. Burns Emeritus Professor of History, University College London What I have to offer here is not so much a paper as some scraps of paper. These represent, on the whole, the result of enquiries on which I have embarked at various times, but which I have not pursued rigorously to their appropriate conclusions. Nor does it now seem likely that I shall ever do so. To some extent, therefore, what I am presenting is an agenda of unfinished business, in the hope that some of the themes I have partially discussed will seem to others to be worth taking further. To this I must add that, even if this were a paper rather than a scrapbook, it would still be an imperfectly structured and incomplete paper. I shall present, to some extent, the beginning of the story and the end – though I shall, perversely, reverse their chronological order. The middle, however, will be all but completely missing. This is because my explorations, such as they have been, have never taken me beyond the threshold of Bentham’s Scotch Reform writings, which ought clearly to constitute the missing part of the story, falling as they do in that middle ground between the Bentham of the radical Enlightenment and the Bentham of philosophical radicalism. One more preliminary point before I begin – at the end.1 One reason for raising this subject at all is, I suggest, that there is something of a paradox to be considered.

This expedition, like so many others, had a position open for someone who could double as an officer and as a naturalist. However, the obsessive Captain FitzRoy had another requirement. The suicide of the ship's previous commander had left him with disturbing premonitions. FitzRoy wanted a scientist, but - beyond that - he longed for a cultivated man with whom to pass the time in the isolated conditions that awaited them. FitzRoy hired a recent Cambridge graduate in Divinity who was also a frustrated student of medicine.

  • To Jeremy Bentham

Six of Wheatley’s letters sent to his sister during his stay, as well as six extracts from his journal, and a short commentary on John Hill Burton’s 1843 edition of Benthamiana, were collated and printed privately for the author by P.H. Youngman, Maldon, in about 1853. The resulting volume, 64 pages long and entitled A Visit (in 1830) to Jeremy Bentham has been transcribed and lightly annotated, and is published online here for the first time. The only known copy of the text is in the possession of the Bentham Project. Wheatley gives the date of his visit to Bentham as occurring in 1830. There is, however, both internal and external evidence that establishes without any doubt that his visit took place a year later, in March 1831. In a letter to Francis Place, dated 14 April 1831, Bentham mentions that Wheatley ‘was with me for three weeks’.2 In the same letter, Bentham also informs Place that he was ‘on the point of losing [his] Brother’; Samuel Bentham died on 30 April 1831.

Rasmussen and Craig Smith Series Editor: Gordon Graham ‘This excellent volume deepens our understanding of the relationship between the ideas and arguments of Smith and Rousseau, and succeeds in making it clear that our understanding Adam Smith of each of these hugely important philosophers depends to a significant extent on our understanding of the other.’ James Harris, University of St Andrews and Rousseau Looks at all aspects of the pivotal intellectual relationship between two key figures of the Adam Smith and Rousseau Enlightenment Ethics, Politics, Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778) and Adam Smith (1723–1790) are two of the foremost thinkers of the European Enlightenment, thinkers who made seminal contributions to moral and political philosophy and who shaped some of the key concepts of modern Economics political economy. Though we have no solid evidence that they met in person, we do know that they shared many friends and interlocutors, particularly David Hume, who was Smith’s closest intellectual associate and who arranged for Rousseau’s stay in England in 1766. This collection brings together an international and interdisciplinary group of Adam Smith and Rousseau scholars to explore the key shared concerns of these two great thinkers in politics, philosophy, economics, history and literature.

ADVERTISEMENT IN committing this Work to the judgement of the Public, the Editors have but little to observe. It will be easily perceived, that it forms no part of their object, to take notice of every production that issues from the Press; and that they wish their Journal to be distinguished, rather for the selection, than for the number, of its articles. Of the books that are daily presented to the world, a very large proportion is evidently destined to obscurity, by the insignificance of their subjects, or the defects of their execution, and it seems unreasonable to expect that the Public should be interested by any account of performances, which have never attracted any share of its attention.

Romantic Periodicals and the Invention of the Living Author Abstract ROMANTIC PERIODICALS AND THE INVENTION OF THE LIVING AUTHOR Christine Marie Woody Michael Gamer This dissertation asks how the burgeoning market of magazines, book reviews, and newspapers shapes the practice and meaning of authorship during the Romantic period. Surveying the innovations in and conventions of British periodical culture between 1802 and 1830, this study emphasizes the importance of four main periodicals—the Edinburgh Review, Quarterly Review, London Magazine, and Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine—to the period’s understanding of what it means to be, or read, an author who is still living. In it, I argue that British periodicals undertook a project to theorize, narrativize, and regulate the deceptively simple concept of a living author. Periodicals confronted the inadequacy of their critical methods in dealing with the living and came to define the “living author” as a disturbing model for the everyday person—an encouragement to self-display and a burden on public attention. Through their engagement with this disruptive figure, periodical writers eventually found in it a potential model for their own contingent, anonymous work, and embraced the self-actualizing possibilities that this reviled figure unexpectedly offered.

The reasons for this are, as I argued in Scottish and Irish Romanticism (2008; 2011), strongly bound up with the rejection of a Herderian and social notion of Romanticism and Romantic literature in the postwar era in favor of a unified-but in fact quite narrow-aesthetic definition. The growth of historicist and thematic studies of the Romantic era in the post 1980 period was an important corrective to this trend, but in many respects did little to change the denationalized nature of Romantic criticism linked to the British Isles, nor indeed did it alter the undergraduate curriculum, as Sharon Ruston’s groundbreaking 2006-7 survey showed (Higgins and Ruston (2010)). The denationalizing of Scotland in particular was not merely a matter of focusing on a core canon of ‘British’ writers and pushing less well-known figures or women such as Charles Maturin, Maria Edgeworth, Susan Ferrier or Sydney Owenson to the margins.

In this paper, I examine Mill’s engagement in the Irish land question in the light of contemporary discussion on the Irish national character and the Irish question. In the first section, I examine what early-nineteenth-century intellectuals thought of the Irish question and “Irish national character.” In the second section, I present an account of Mill’s views on the Irish condition and his proposed solution for the Irish land question, which he approached from both economic and ethological points of view. In other words, his analysis of the Irish land question was underpinned by an interest in the relationship between the formation of national character and the state of the society, and political institutions. He stressed how artificial social systems, including the land system, could contribute to the forma- tion of national character. This section shows that both his diagnosis of the Irish distress and his proposed remedy for it were grounded in the theoretical views of man and society that had been gradually developed in the 1830s and early 1840s.
