56Adam Smith: The sympathetic process and the origin and function of conscienceIn Christopher J. Berry, Maria Pia Paganelli & Craig Smith (eds.), The Oxford Handbook of Adam Smith, Oxford University Press. pp. 177. 2013.According to Adam Smith, the acquisition of moral conscience is an essential part of a person’s moral education. I argue that moral conscience as conceived by Smith enables a person to intentionally take the role of an impartial spectator. I trace the process of moral education from the child in its family, to interaction with peers to learning and then to a self-evaluation, learning to become one’s own spectator and judge. This is a move from uncritical trust to external guidance to acquiring t…Read more

150Lo que no podemos hacernos el uno al otro. Sobre el perdón y la vulnerabilidad moralUniversitas Philosophica 32 (64): 125-152. 2015.Forgiveness typically becomes an issue where an offender has wronged a victim.

I suggest distinguishing between personal and moral relations betw…Read more
