何についての本か
スミスが公刊を許した諸論考。天文学の歴史、言語の起源、諸芸術における模倣、その他、経済学ではない主題を扱う。
背景と歴史
これらの文章が残っているのは間一髪のことだ。スミスは一七九〇年、死の数日前に自分の書類を焼かせ、残したいと思ったものだけを救った。生涯にわたる草稿のうち、生き延びたのはこのわずかな束である。もっとも興味深いのは天文学史についての論考だ。われわれはなぜ体系を作るのか——それは、辻褄の合わないものが引き起こす驚きと居心地の悪さを鎮めるためだ、と説く。『国富論』の著者の手になる科学論である。

Whatever is the passion which arises from any object in the person principally concerned, an analogous emotion springs up, at the thought of his situation, in the breast of every attentive spectator. Our joy for the deliverance of those heroes of tragedy or romance who interest us, is as sincere as our grief for their distress, and our fellow-feeling with their misery is not more real than that with their happiness. We enter into their gratitude towards those faithful friends who did not desert them in their difficulties; and we heartily go along with their resentment against those perfidious traitors who injured, abandoned, or deceived them. In every passion of which the mind of man is susceptible, the emotions of the by-stander always correspond to what, by bringing the case home to himself, he imagines should be the sentiments of the sufferer. {11} 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. Upon some occasions sympathy may seem to arise merely from the view of a certain emotion in another person. The passions, upon some occasions, may seem to be transfused from one man to another, instantaneously, and antecedent to any knowledge of what excited them in the person principally concerned. Grief and joy, for example, strongly expressed in the look and gestures of any one, at once affect the spectator with some degree of a like painful or agreeable emotion. A smiling face is, to everybody that sees it, a cheerful object; as a sorrowful countenance, on the other hand, is a melancholy one. This, however, does not hold universally, or with regard to every passion.…
