İktisadın bir bilim dalı olarak ortaya çıktığı tarihten günümüze dek politik iktisada katkı sağlayan çok sayıda düşünür olmuştur. Bu itibarla, iktisat disiplininin temellerini oluşturan Adam Smith ve ...onunla aynı dönem yaşayan düşünürlerin katkıları büyük bir önem arz etmektedir. Bu bağlamda, 18.yüzyılda İskoçya'da başlayan ve yaklaşık yüz yılı kapsayan, entelektüel ve bilimsel gelişmelerin yaşandığı İskoç aydınlanması özellikle incelenmesi gereken bir dönemdir. Bu çerçevede çalışmanın amacı, İskoç aydınlanmasının politik iktisadın gelişmesindeki rolünü incelemektir. Ayrıca çalışmada, bu aydınlanma hareketinin öne çıkan düşünürlerinin politik iktisat disiplinine katkısına değinilmiştir.

Persuasion In 2018, at its thirty-ninth annual meeting, the Jane Austen Society of North America celebrated the two-hundredth anniversary of the pub-lication of Jane Austen's Persuasion. From the ...AGM's breakout sessions, we have several articles to pique your interest. Because one can only attend a few breakout sessions at an AGM, I always depend on Persuasions to fill in my gaps. ...I extend my personal thanks, again, and the thanks of JASNA members to the Editor, the Editorial Board, and the authors of these essays for another outstanding issue of Persuasions.

Economics is a powerful way of thinking. While there may occasionally be major errors in its application, at its core the principles of economics remain the strongest paradigm in the social sciences. ...Buddhism is also a powerful way of thinking. The central question in Buddhist philosophy is the same as that in economics: what is the key to human happiness? How can human suffering be reduced? But the answer to this question in the Buddhist way of thinking is exactly the opposite of that given by economics. Can Adam Smith learn from the Buddha? Can Buddhism learn from economics? This essay explores these topics. I first present an interpretation of what I take to be the core of Buddhist thinking in economic terms, and then show how that could be incorporated into economic thinking, and how economics would change as a result. I then try to do the reverse, and show how the economic way of thinking can clarify Buddhist thinking. I apply simple economic theory to develop a model of rational Zen Buddhism.
Adam Smith is commonly viewed as the founding father of economics. This conviction stems from the publication of The Wealth of Nations in 1776. Smith's works are chiefly examined in terms of ...economics. The discovery of reports of his Lectures on Jurisprudence and defining them as a "bridge" between his ethics, law and economics allows researchers to analyze Smith's work from a fresh perspective. The aim of the paper is to discuss complex relationships between ethics included in The Theory of Moral Sentiments and general principles of law and economics. The main conclusion of this paper is that Smith emphasized the mutual complementation of moral and legal norms in the context of the economic development of the commercial society.
This article makes two claims: first, "the economy" in its contemporary sense is distinct from the object of classical political economy; and second, despite this distinction, social scientists have ...generated a narrative history of the economy that contributes to its appearance as natural and inevitable by presenting it as a continuous object. This article briefly examines some of the ways in which we read the language of "the economy" back onto Smith, contributing to this appearance of continuity. This article then demonstrates that while Smith may have originated or elaborated many of the concepts used by contemporary economists, he did not understand his own object to be "the economy," and concludes with a brief discussion of the political possibilities opened up by such an assertion.
The aesthetic appreciation of natural places is one of the most fundamental ways in which people relate to their environment. It provides wellbeing, an opportunity for recreation and reflection, a ...sense of place, and cultural enrichment. It also motivates people to take care of natural places and to conserve them for current and future appreciation. Aesthetically valuable places also support significant economic activity. However, there is little guidance available to assist environmental managers and policy-makers to consider and integrate aesthetic values into decision-making processes. In this study, we present an approach for developing robust and practical indicators of aesthetic value to enable environmental managers to consider, assess and report on aesthetic condition and trend. We demonstrate its utility using the case of the Great Barrier Reef, a region currently undergoing significant social, economic and environmental change and an area formally protected, in part, for its aesthetic values. A qualitative scoping study with 30 key informants identified over 180 potential qualities contributing to reef aesthetics. We tested five for their utility in capturing key aspects of the coral reef aesthetic: (i) coral cover, (ii) coral pattern, (iii) coral topography, (iv) fish abundance, and (v) visibility. We asked 1,417 online Australians to aesthetically rate 50 out of 181 underwater coral reef images that varied in relation to these five attributes. Coral topography, fish abundance, and visibility were significantly correlated with aesthetic ratings, whilst coral cover and coral pattern were not. We also tested for demographic patterns in aesthetic ratings. Our pilot study has demonstrated that readily measurable characteristics of coral reefs can provide useful indicators of aesthetic quality, opening up opportunities for coral reef managers and policymakers to assess and track changes in aesthetics in ways that are relevant to the public. There is considerable scope to further advance capacity for monitoring and managing aesthetic values of coral reefs through additional research that resolves nuances in the meanings associated with aesthetics in coral reef settings.

This paper argues that Kant’s concept of ‘respect’ (Achtung) for the moral law has roots in Adam Smith’s concept of ‘regard’ for the general rules of conduct, which was translated as Achtung in the ...first German translation of the Theory of Moral Sentiments. After illustrating that Kant’s technical understanding of respect appeared relatively late in his intellectual development, I argue that Kant’s concept of respect and Smith’s concept of regard share a basic similarity: they are both a single complex phenomenon with two core aspects, namely an attitude and a feeling. I then suggest that the concept of regard offered Kant a way to deal a problem concerning moral motivation that he was trying to solve at the time he likely first read Smith. I conclude by drawing some implications from the account I have offered for our understanding of Kant’s relation to Smith more generally.
We reproduce by permission the 1967 checklist created by Hiroshi Mizuta of the titles that were owned by Adam Smith. This checklist is supplemented by a list of additional once-elusive titles. The ...checklist plus the supplement, provided together here, comprise a handy means for determining whether a title was in Smith’s personal library: Scholars may search the PDF file for words in the title or author’s name, and should try words individually, or only a distinctive part of a word, for best results. If a title is not contained herein, then one should feel quite sure that if Smith did ever own a copy the work, no one of this realm does or ever shall know that to have been the case.
