Resumen
Descripción general del contenido del recurso.
Our Thesis is aimed at turning into protagonists a series of characters that have generally played the role of casting actors in the research on the stellar works of the History of Economic Thought: textbooks that are usually employ for the training of students of Economics in this "discipline". Focusing on these books will allow us to inquire about the choice, order and hierarchy of works of the History of Economic Thought (and their respective contents) that are usually taught to economists. And understanding what is taught in the History of Economic Thought will allow us at the same time to distinguish what is not taught. As the spinozian adage says, omnis determinatio est negatio. The Thesis investigates the study and teaching of Adam Smith's work through textbooks of the History of Economic Thought based on the development of three challenges. Firstly, we propose to stop considering these textbooks as mere neutral reference materials, whose sole function is to "accompany" and "facilitate" the study of the great works of the History of 4 Economic Thought. On the other hand, we would like to show that these textbooks, whether explicit or not, are based on a criterion for deciding which aspects of past works should (or may not) be part of the History of Economic Thought, and that such selections have an Impact on the image that the students of Economics form of those works and that history. As a second challenge, we focus on expounding the "economic dissection" of the smithian work done by the textbooks of the History of Economic Thought, that is, how they have privileged the isolated reading of some passages of The Wealth of Nations and have left In the background (or omitted) its relation with The Theory of Moral Sentiments. This point will be important not only because of the importance we consider the understanding of the smithian intellectual enterprise has for the formation of the economist, but because it will allow us to show the process of choice, order and hierarchy of the smithian work that textbooks perform. Finally, as a third challenge, we try to explore and present a set of relevant aspects of the smithian works that have not been developed in the textbooks of the History of Economic Thought. We believe that this exploration may contribute, first of all, to the understanding of Smith's project of Political Economy and the relationship it has with its philosophical project; especially, with his incursions into Jurisprudence and Ethics. Secondly, to the understanding of some basic economic notions present in the smithian work not as susceptible of being analyzed with the rod of the "experimental science" now prevailing but as notions that the author tried to develop with philosophical attitude.
