| Research Abstract |
Smith's social theory analyzed and interpreted both unfolding and accumulative structures of human beings and society on the foundation of human instinct. My reinterpretation makes it possible to achieve a coherent understanding of Moral Sentiments and Wealth of Nations, as well as to recognize the commonality between Hume, Smith and Charles Darwin in respect to the evolutionary point of view. For Smith, human nature incorporates the instincts of self-interest (self-preservation) and mutual altruism (sociability, the propensity for exchange).
