蘇格蘭啟蒙運動

亞當·斯密|現代經濟學之父與《國富論》的思想革命 | Adam Smith | Father of Modern Economics and the Revolution of The Wealth of Nations

亞當·斯密(1723–1790)是蘇格蘭啟蒙運動的重要思想家,被譽為「現代經濟學之父」。他最著名的著作《國富論》奠定了自由市場與分工理論的基礎,提出「看不見的手」概念,影響全球資本主義發展。同時,他亦著有《道德情操論》,探討人類同理心與道德判斷,顯示其思想並非單純經濟理性,而是兼具倫理深度。

Adam Smith (1723–1790) was a key figure of the Scottish Enlightenment and is widely regarded as the “Father of Modern Economics.” His most influential work, The Wealth of Nations, laid the foundation for free-market theory and division of labor, introducing the concept of the “invisible hand.” Smith profoundly shaped the development of capitalism worldwide. In addition to economics, his earlier work, The Theory of Moral Sentiments, explored human sympathy and ethical judgment, demonstrating that his philosophy was not purely economic but deeply rooted in moral thought.
