Adam Smith''s major work of 1759 develops the foundation for a general system of morals, and is a text of central importance in the history of moral and political thought.

This volume offers a new edition of the text with helpful notes for the student reader, and a substantial introduction that establishes the work in its philosophical and historical context.
