From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Very good and clean. - Sehr gut und sauber. - In The Autonomous Male of Adam Smith, Stewart Justman examines Smiths attempt to supply the new ideology of commerce with a Roman foundation. The ideology of commerce holds that trade not only brings material benefits but also improves character. Ironically, however, the improved male of Smiths Theory of Moral Sentiments answers rather closely to the traditional description of a good womansomeone patient, even-tempered, sympathetic, proper, and averse to public life. To spare his readers the uneasy implications of this feminization of virtue, Smith invokes Roman stoicism. The Theory of Moral Sentiments is heavily imbued with the masculine language of stoicism, which attempts to dignify a commercial way of life. So it is that Smith introduces classical values dear to the critics of luxury into the service of commercial society. The modern man imagines himself a stoic as he builds the wealth of the nation; his wife becomes his support and solace, a figure far from the traditional image of woman as sexual betrayer and consumer of mans substance. Despite its affirmation of an austere ideal of masculine autonomy, stoicism in fact provides little real justification for the commercial way of life. By employing gender and political theory, Justman shows that Adam Smiths prudent man is by no means autonomous. The Autonomous Male of Adam Smith is Volume 14 of the Oklahoma Project for Discourse and Theory.
