Adam Smith's Impartial Spectator.
- Authors
Mueller, Paul D.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the concept of impartial spectator as described by philosopher Adam Smith in his book Theory of Moral Sentiments (TMS). It is noted that the fortunes of TMS have changed dramatically in the past several decades from economics to history to philosophy to psychology to aesthetics. It is stated that the impartial spectator is not some local, ordinary, seemingly impartial person but a being who beholds more and maintains impartiality.
