Journal Article
Adam Smith's Beholderism Redux
2026
Overview
In our 2025 article, we (along with coauthor Nicholas Swanson) exposited Adam Smith’s beholderism and criticized authors for flattening “impartial spectator” such that its meanings rise no higher than the conscience. Professor Jack Russell Weinstein generously replied to our critique. Here we respond to Weinstein and, using a new diagram, further elaborate on paragraph 215.11 of Smith’s The Theory of Moral Sentiments.
