Abstract

How does one know justice? For a long time, philosophers looked to divinity for answers; during the Enlightenment, they turned to human reason. Adam Smith was one of those Enlightenment philosophers, asking: where does justice come from? How do we know it? What does justice require? He brought this concern with him into the classroom at the University of Glasgow, where he taught jurisprudence for twelve years. [1st paragraph]
