Looks at all aspects of the pivotal intellectual relationship between two key figures
of the EnlightenmentThis collection brings together an international and interdisciplinary
group of Adam Smith and Jean-Jacques Rousseau scholars to explore the key shared concerns
of these two great thinkers in politics, philosophy, economics, history and literature.Rousseau
(1712 78) and Smith (1723 90) are two of the foremost thinkers of the European Enlightenment.
They both made seminal contributions to moral and political philosophy and shaped
some of the key concepts of modern political economy. Among Smith's first published
works was a letter to the 'Edinburgh Review' where he discusses Rousseau's 'Discourse
on the Origin of Inequality'. Smith continued to engage with Rousseau's work and to
explore many shared themes such as sympathy, political economy, sentiment and inequality.
Though we have no solid evidence that they met in person, we do know that they shared
many friends and interlocutors. In particular, David Hume was Smith's closest intellectual
associate and was also the one who arranged for Rousseau's stay in England in 1766
