Adam Smith
La ricchezza delle nazioni
Biografia
Considerazioni
Pensiero
Entra a servizio di un conte come precettore e inizia a viaggiare in tutta Europa. In Francia entra in contatto con importanti esponenti dell'Illuminismo e della fisiocrazia.
La prima opera importante è del 1759 e si intitola “Teoria dei sentimenti morali”.
Frequenta l'università di Glasgow e Oxford.
Nasce nel 1773 a Kirkcarldy e muore a Edimburgo nel 1790.
Terminato il servizio per questo conte torna in Scozia e nel 1776 pubblica "La ricchezza delle nazioni".
LA VITA E LE OPERE
- La condotta umana, secondo S., è determinata da sei impulsi: egoismo, simpatia, desiderio di libertà, senso della proprietà, abitudine al lavoro e tendenza al baratto.
- l'uomo perseguendo il proprio interesse personale, persegue anche, indirettamente, il bene di tutti.
- L'intervento del governo nella società deve essere limitato. S. riconosce al governo solo tre compiti: assicurare la difesa da aggressioni straniere, istituire una rigorosa amministrazione della giustizia, provvedere alle opere pubbliche.
- il mercato è lo strumento di coordinamento degli interessi individuali, e realizza tra gli uomini una cooperazione che è alla base di qualsiasi sistema economico.
UNA FILOSOFIA ECONOMICO-POLITICA
La differenza fra l'uomo e l'animale
La disposizione a barattare provoca la differenziazione delle professioni e rende gli uomini utili gli uni agli altri
Esempio della tribù di cacciatori
L’uomo ha bisogno di ottenere l’aiuto e la collaborazione degli altri, in una società incivilita
La disposizione a barattare è all’origine della divisione del lavoro
LA RICCHEZZA DELLE NAZIONI
- E' ancora attuale il pensiero di Smith sugli animali?
- La tripartizione delle funzioni del governo potrebbe avere un antecedente nella divisione dei ruoli e dell'anima nella repubblica di Platone?
- Ci potrebbe essere una società senza la divisione del lavoro?
CONSIDERAZIONI
Virginia Woolf is now accepted as an extremely important literary figure and an early feminist.
However, her work wasn't embraced or widely anthologized until nearly 50 years after her novels were published. Here are 5 reasons why Woolf should be one of your feminist icons:
- She was chiefly interested in and wrote about the inner lives of women.
- She lived in a time when she was granted few rights, but turned the setback into a strength.
- She was progressive in her feminism, and even made the connection between a patriarchal society and militarism.
- She believed deeply in the power of the individual.
- She saw sexuality and gender as fluid.

Woolf's work was influenced by prominent writers and artists of the time such as Marcel Proust, Igor Stravinsky, and the Post-Impressionists.
Family summers in coastal Cornwall also shaped Woolf indelibly, exposing her to the ocean as a source of literary inspiration and creating memories she would fictionalize for her acclaimed novel, To the Lighthouse.
Stravinsky and Proust
In her personal life, she suffered bouts of deep depression. She took her own life in 1941, at the age of 59, after her house was destroyed in The Blitz (WW2 bombing of London).
Virginia Woolf (1882–1941) is recognized as one of the most innovative writers of the 20th century.
Born into a wealthy English household in 1882, author Virginia Woolf was raised by free-thinking parents. She began writing as a young girl and, encouraged by her father, began writing professionally in 1900. Perhaps best known as the author of Mrs. Dalloway (1925) and To the Lighthouse (1927), she was also a prolific writer of essays, diaries, letters, and biographies. She and her husband, Leonard Woolf, bought a used printing press and established their own publishing house, Hogarth Press, going on to publish some of their own work as well as that of Sigmund Freud, Katharine Mansfield, and T.S. Eliot. Throughout her career, Woolf spoke regularly at colleges and universities and by her mid-forties, she had established herself as an intellectual, an innovative and influential writer, and a pioneering feminist.
