science´s philosophy, Adam Smith and EconomicsAbstract
The article considers the philosophy of science of Adam Smith in the search for arguments concerning the difference between the moral discourse and the discourse of natural sciences. This difference is proposed from the principles employed by Smith in his theories on scientific subjects, moral sentiments and the wealth of nations. As a result, it presents an understanding of the Smith’s scientific ontology, the principles of natural origin, which signed the metaphysical position to the notion of freedom, and the utilitarianism which founded the Economic Science.Downloads
