Abstract
Adam Smith's Theory of Sympathy
- Compare with Hume's Theory -
Kyu-Sun Hwang and Hyang-Kyo Jung
It is well-known that sympathy is the basic notion of A. Smith's moral philosophy system. But Korean researchers have been unconcerned about meaning of sympathy in Smith's moral philosophy system for a long time. Therefore I set about analyze this problem.
In the Theory of Moral Sentiment, Smith says : "How selfish soever man be supposed, there are evidently some principles in his nature, which interest him in the fortune of others, and render their happiness necessary to him, though he derives nothing from it except the pleasure of seeing it. … Pity and compassion are words appropriated to signify our fellow-feeling with the sorrow of others. Sympathy, though its meaning was, perhaps, originally the same, may now, however, without much impropriety, be made use of to denote our fellow-feeling with any passion whatever." That is, sympathy is a principle of moral judgement in Smith's moral philosophy system. Owing to sympathy, we have moral judgement of others with imaginary change of situation in general.
Upon these two different efforts, upon that the spectator to enter into the sentiments of the person principally concerned, and upon that of the person principally concerned, to bring down his emotions to what the spectator can go along with, are founded two different sets of virtues. Those are humanity and propriety. And hence it is, that to feel much for others and little for ourselves, that to restrain our selfish, and to indulge our benevolent affections, constitutes the perfection of human nature. And that can alone produce among mankind that harmony of sentiments and passions in which consists their whole grace and propriety. As to love our neighbour as we love ourselves is the great law of Nature, so it is the great precept of nature to love ourselves only as we love our neighbour, or what comes to the same thing, as our neighbour is capable of loving us.
In compare concept of Hume's sympathy with Smith's, I found this following result. Firstly, Hume's sympathy is principle of communication, while Smith's sympathy is a process by which moral judgements were made. Secondly, the base of value exist in the outside of spectator in Hume's theory, on the other hand, in case of Smith's, it exist in the inside of spectator. Therefore it is possible to draw a conclusion that the base of value exist in the relations of society in Smith's theory.
