道德情操论（中文导读英文版）

　　The Theory of Moral Sentiments，中文译名为《道德情操论》，它由英国著名古典政治经济学家、现代西方经济学之父、哲学家亚当·斯密编著。这是一部划时代的巨著，是古典经济学的哲学基础。全书共有七卷，主要阐释道德情感的本质和道德评价的性质。书中列举了支配人类行为的各种动机，包括自爱、同情心、追求自由的欲望、正义感、劳动习惯和交换倾向等，认为一个人的同情心与思维构造是形成其独特的道德情操、道德判断及美德的基础；阐述了人本性中所有的同情的情感是形成其道德取向的基础，是人类正义感和其他一切道德情感的形成根源，由此说明道德评价的性质，以此为基础表明各种基本美德的特征，并向世人强调：道德和正义对于社会乃至市场经济的运行是非常重要的。无论是作为哲学和经济学等专业的经典读本，还是作为语言学习的课外读物，本书对当代中国读者，特别是对哲学和经济学等相关专业学习的大学生和从事研究工作的学者都将产生积极的影响。为了使读者能够了解每个论述主题的主要内容，进而提高阅读速度和阅读水平，在每个主题的开始部分增加了中文导读。
