When Adam Smith published his celebrated writings on economics and moral philosophy he famously referred to the operation of an 'invisible hand'. "Adam Smith's Political Philosophy" makes visible this hand by examining its significance in Smith's political philosophy and relating it to similar concepts used by other philosophers, thus revealing a distinctive approach to social theory that stresses the importance of the unintended consequences of human action. The first book to examine the history of Smith's political philosophy from this perspective, this work introduces greater conceptual clarity to the discussion of the invisible hand and the related notion of unintended order in the work of Smith, as well as in political theory more generally. By examining the application of spontaneous order ideas in the work of Smith, Hume, Hayek and Popper, this important volume traces similarities in approach, and from these constructs a conceptual, composite model of an invisible hand argument. While setting out a clear framework of the idea of spontaneous order, the book also builds the case for using this as an explanatory social theory, with chapters on its application in the fields of science, moral philosophy, law and government.

评分Literally butchered a good topic. 專門處理的對手似乎隻有Rothschild且處理很一般，對大量spontaneous disorders缺乏解讀（如壟斷行為同樣是自發而非強製行為），另外如哈耶剋一般毫無道理地排除deliberation/theorizing在日常生活和行為中的作用，而theorizing恰恰是disorder的一個重要動因。解釋人類一般動機時硬傷不小，有對self-love和self-interest進行簡單化約的傾嚮，有時將self-preservation而非tranquility of mind當作根本動機更是明顯的解讀失誤。
