Description

The process of mutual sympathy generates amiable virtues and awful virtues in spectators and agents, respectively. Moreover, in social interaction, these virtues provoke reactions of love and respect. These are the two attitudes required for what I call “sympathetic individualism,” which I propose as Smithean social ideal and which harmonizes respect for the dignity of each individual and the active promotion of their good.
