Abstract

In order to identify the “deep structure” of Smith’s works, we identify a set of three “reasoning routines” that are triggered by Smith’s Wonder–Surprise–Admiration meta-routine (WSA routine from here on) that, at an early stage of his career, in juvenile works such as History of Astronomy and early lectures such as those on languages and rhetoric, Smith developed and later put to good use as moral philosopher, in The Theory of Moral Sentiments, and as economist, in An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations.
