Remote Encounters of a Distant Kind: Natives and Westerners in Adam Smith’s International Thought
摘要
In this chapter Laurie Bréban and Jean Dellemotte explain how Adam Smith understood the differences and relations between indigenous peoples and Westerners. The authors demonstrate the unity and the ambiguities in Smith’s views of natives and Westerners as presented in his international thought. In doing so, they investigate Smith’s economic thought and moral philosophy and bring new light to his relation to colonialism.
