Respect, admiration, aggrandizement: Adam Smith as economic psychologist
Article Abstract:
The differences between respect, admiration and aggrandizement are studied based on economist Adam Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments. It is argued that respect differs from admiration since it involves an intra-individual evaluation of performance while admiration involves the inter-individual ranking of capabilities. It is also shown that aggrandizement is a distortion of both respect and admiration.
