The Theory of Moral Sentiments, Smith's first and in his own mind most important work, outlines his view of proper conduct and the institutions and sentiments that make men virtuous. Here he develops his doctrine of the impartial spectator, whose hypothetical disinterested judgment we must use to distinguish right from wrong in any given situation. We by nature pursue our self-interest, according to Smith. This makes independence or self-command an instinctive good and neutral rules as difficult to craft as they are necessary But society is not held together merely by neutral rules; it is held together by sympathy. Smith argues that we naturally share the emotions and to a certain extent the physical sensations we witness in others. Sharing the sensations of our fellows, we seek to maximize their pleasures and minimize their pains so that we may share in their joys and enjoy their expressions of affection and approval.
P44第二段第二句 译文： 虽然过分的悲伤，会使我们对它产生某些同感。 原文：Though sorrow is excessive, we may still have some fellow-feeling with it. 评：译文深得google翻译的精髓。 第二段倒数第二句 译文：可是，如果我对...

很久以前很浪费地看了中文版，十分无感，从翻译看不出道德情感和人际行为之间严丝合缝的关系。现在读英文版真的觉得有助于理解生活带来的困惑。在能用外语思考的情况下读起来的感受完全不一样。

二刷，还是不轻松，这回在Part. IV & VI停留了很久，摸到了不少从前没摸到的小路。不过主线仍然比想象中的要模糊。

self-love, reason还是sentiment能成为道德的奠基？斯密说，是最后一个。在这个意义上，这本书既古典又现代：教化来自于性情的潜移默化（因此不必纠结impartial spectator到底是谁），但如果不进入社会，我们又无法获得真正的道德知识；无所谓客观或不客观的道德，只有是否适宜的、是否让人生厌的。

终于看完，开始抄笔记。Hume的写法是逻辑推理比较多，不易让人记住观点。Smith则是唐僧念经一般，铺垫论证举例再回顾总结，整体consistency很强，读完他写的东西之后满脑子被这些例子和分析占据，不过他的体系也暴露出很多问题，对于贫富和阶级问题的看法自然是比马克思单纯不少
