亚当.斯密为我们所熟知的是其经济学上“看不见的手”理论,而对他政治哲学思想的研究比较少,并且现有研究很多局限在伦理学的视角之下。实际上,斯密的政治哲学思想非常丰富,包括利己与利他的调和哲学和有关正义的论述等。正如每一个经典政治哲学家一样,在这些思想中,正义观是其政治哲学思想的支柱。这些思想在一定程度上对现代思想体系起到了奠基作用,是非常值得我们关注和研究的。 What Adam Smith knows so well is his “invisible hand” theory of economics, while his research on his political philosophy is relatively rare, and much of the existing research is limited to the perspective of ethics. In fact, Smith’s philosophy of political philosophy is very rich, including the reconciliation philosophy of self-interest and altruism and the discussion of justice. Just as every classical political philosopher, in these ideas, the concept of justice is the pillar of his political philosophy. To a certain extent, these ideas play a cornerstone role in the modern ideological system and deserve our attention and study.
