McClure, Chair The contemporary revival of interest in republican political thought requires a substantive account of civic virtue as its motivating factor. Whereas liberalism will replace the burden of virtue with the burden of dispassionate judgment, republicanism clings to the potential of its citizenry’s virtuosity and the idea that something akin to character is required to participate in politics. I argue that to enliven virtue, we must consider its relationship to the passions and their place in the historical republican tradition. Civic virtue’s influence on republican practices derives not from juridical principles or institutional safeguards but from ethical and emotional commitments to extra-legal concepts such as duty, respect, and responsibility. Yet the contemporary literature on republicanism, suffering from what I call an affective deficit, largely fails to account for this emotional dimension. Building on the theory of emotives developed by historian William Reddy in The Navigation of Feeling: A Framework for the History of Emotions ii (2001), and through a series of close readings of republican political thought from the eighteenth century, I develop a distinct theory of affective practices, defined as the ways in which feelings of devotion to one’s country and fellow citizens are cogitated upon, judged, enacted in the body and communicated to others. I apply this theory of affective practices to provide interpretations of Montesquieu on fear; Diderot on despair and respect; and Rousseau on love and sympathy. Through these explorations, we may better understand how the passions, and a “re-politicized” sense of civic virtue, are, and ought to be, employed in the pursuit, maintenance, and critique of republican politics by its contemporary defenders and detractors alike, particularly in Philip Pettit’s work on neo-republicanism and Jürgen Habermas’s on constitutional patriotism. iii The dissertation of Megan Elizabeth Gallagher is approved.

Database information (and permanent hyperlinks, when available) is listed in the bibliography. I have not attempted to standardize capitalization, punctuation, or spelling in the eighteenth century editions, though when a particularly arcane word (or spelling) is used, I have included the modern French equivalent. Unattributed translations of these and other French materials are my own. I have standardized other modern sources, excluding titles, for consistent American English spelling throughout. ix Acknowledgments For their collective erudition, generosity, guidance, and good humor, I thank the members of my committee, Joshua Foa Dienstag, Anthony Pagden, Giulia Sissa, and Peter Stacey. I owe them a debt of gratitude. My advisor and chair, Kirstie McClure, whose dedication to all of her students continues to stagger the mind, has mentored me since I wrote to her as a prospective student. I will continue to measure my work by her standards. It is because of Molly Shanley and Peter G. Stillman’s teaching that I first became passionate about political theory as an undergraduate. Lastly, I had the good fortune to study with Victor Wolfenstein at the beginning of my graduate career. I like to think that, on a good day, the depth of his ethical commitments and his dedication to teaching guide my own. The tremendous staff of the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library has made my year there truly delightful – and just the right amount of weird. Thank you in particular to Clark Director Barbara Fuchs, David Eng, Scott Jacobs, Nina Mamikunian, Alejandro Sanchez Nuñez, and Shannon Supple. In the UCLA Political Science Graduate Office, Joseph Brown and Yesenia Rayos have provided more support than could reasonably be hoped for. I am thankful for financial support from the California Rare Book School, the Edwin W. Pauley Fellowship, the UCLA Center for Seventeenth- and Eighteenth-Century Studies, the UCLA Department of Political Science, and the UCLA Graduate Division. To my dear friends, fellow theorists, writing partners, and partners in crime, a meager thank you is insufficient. Nonetheless, particular thanks to Libby Barringer, Ben Bascom, Jake Collins, x Arash Davari, Darin DeWitt, Carol Dingman, Cory Gooding, Emily Hallock, Lauren Jacobi, Katie Kumler, Whitney Mannies, Helen McManus, Chandra Obie, Ben Parizek, Matt Rand, Gilda Rodríguez, Mae Sakharov, Althea Sircar, Rebekah Sterling, and Meryl Sweeney. My family often had more confidence in me than I did in myself. For that, and much more, I owe them a debt I cannot repay. xi Vita Megan Elizabeth Gallagher graduated with honors from Vassar College in May 2005 with a B.A. in French and Francophone Studies and Political Science. She earned an M.A.

We begin with Hirschman’s characterization of the three rival views of the market as civilizing, destructive, or feeble in its effects on society. We review recent work at the intersection of sociology, economics, and political economy and show that these views persist both as theories of market society and moral arguments about it. We then argue that a fourth view, which we call moralized markets, has become increasingly prominent in economic sociology.

Sobre la interconexión del espíritu comercial, el derecho y la paz en la filosofía de la historia de Kant1 Kant and the thesis of le doux commerce. On the relation of the spirit of commerce, law, and peace in Kant’s philosophy of history DIETER HÜNING2 Universidad de Tréveris, Alemania Resumen Este artículo se centra en las apologías de Kant acerca de la sociedad comercial en su texto de Hacia la paz perpetua. Dichas apologías, que pueden resumirse bajo el título "le doux commerce", se difundieron en el siglo XVIII. Muchos filósofos e historiadores, como Montesquieu, Hume, Voltaire y Ferguson, formaron parte de este grupo. La cuestión decisiva para Kant fue combinar tal apología con su concepción teleológica de la historia, que desarrolló en su Ideas para una historia universal en clave cosmopolita. Palabras clave Apología de la sociedad comercial, paz perpetua, concepción teleológica de la historia, doux commerce 1 El presente texto ofrece una versión reducida del artículo aparecido inicialmente en alemán: "Es ist der Handelsgeist, der mit dem Kriege nicht bestehen kann". – Handel, Recht und Frieden in Kants Geschichtsphilosophie, en Olaf Asbach (coord.): Der moderne Staat und ‚le doux commerce’.

  • Passions, Doux Commerce, Interest Properly Understood: from Adam Smith to Alexis De Tocqueville and Beyond Andreas Hess [email protected]
    FORUM Passions, doux commerce, interest properly understood: From Adam Smith to Alexis de Tocqueville and beyond Andreas Hess [email protected] Back to the future: Smith’s Theory of Moral Sentiments Sometimes the changing perceptions of classic books and their authors tell a larger, often more complex, story. So it is with Adam Smith’s Theory of Moral Sentiments (TMS). TMS was Smith’s first and last book. Having gone through five editions—the last one being prepared almost from the deathbed—, its various editions sandwiched his other classic book, The Wealth of Nations (WN) for which Smith became a household name. Today Smith is first and foremost identified as one of the founding fathers of political economy, a fact that is perhaps no better expressed than by the Bank of England’s twenty pound note, showing the man and paying reference to WN. Such was the perception of Smith—until the onslaught of the current economic crisis. As the current interest and wave of recent reception and scholarship makes clear, Adam Smith is making an unexpected comeback. What is new is that over the last ten years, and pretty much overlapping with the current economic crisis, the talk is now less about Smith the political economist and author of WN, or about political economy or the benefits of open markets and commercial activities, than about Adam Smith the moral philosopher and his ground breaking TMS. It seems that scholars have begun to discover and excavate the ‘real’ Adam Smith, the moral philosopher who wrote about sociability, virtuous behaviour and sympathy and who reasoned that these features must not necessarily be seen in contradiction to, but rather helped to embed market relations, commercial activities and pursuit of self-interest for the purpose of the common wealth.

The ambiguous birth of political economy: Montchrestien vs. Cantillon-1 Summary The political constitution of markets is promoted by Montchrestien whereas, on the contrary, the absolute autonomy of the sphere of exchange is favoured by Cantillon. Yet, this article seeks to demonstrate that both authors participate in the emergence of a modern way of thinking about the economy. In both cases, we find the idea that the sphere of exchange acquires an autonomy which requires the application of a specific science. In the case of Cantillon, this autonomy is absolute and anticipates the foundations of contemporary economics.

  • Cadalso Y Montesquieu: «Le Doux Commerce»
    Emilio Martínez Mata 63 Cadalso y Montesquieu: lujo y doux commerce Emilio Martínez Mata (Universidad de Oviedo) La discusión sobre el lujo se convierte en una cuestión de vital importancia en el siglo XVIII porque, más allá de consideraciones de orden moral o de las explicaciones históricas sobre su papel en el devenir cíclico de las naciones (crecimiento, auge, decadencia) a partir de las disquisiciones sobre la decadencia del imperio romano, implica la licitud de las actividades económicas distintas de las entonces consideradas básicas, ganadería y agricultura. Es decir, frente a las incitaciones a la “virtud”, tanto las de naturaleza estoica como las cristianas, plantea la licitud y conveniencia de las motivaciones económicas en el ser humano, reflejo de una concepción focalizada en la vida del hombre, desligada de las preocupaciones por el más allá. Lo que se convierte en el centro de interés ahora es la “felicidad temporal del hombre” de la que habla Jovellanos en el Informe sobre la Ley Agraria (391). Desde una perspectiva más elemental, el debate sobre el lujo va a mostrar también las críticas a los excesos y los gastos superfluos de las clases adineradas. Pero el planteamiento que se efectúa en el siglo XVIII es mucho más complejo. Los ilustrados dieron, como es sabido, una gran importancia a la vida en sociedad, a la sociabilidad en todas sus vertientes. Frente a la actitud nostálgica, reverdecedora del mito de la Edad de Oro que se refleja en Fénelon y, más tarde, en Rousseau, que evocan con admiración una forma de vida primitiva, apegada a la naturaleza, dedicada a la ganadería y a la agricultura, los ilustrados propugnarán las virtudes de la vida social y los beneficios del desarrollo económico que se produce en las ciudades.
