ADAM SMITH TERCENTENARY CELEBRATION LECTURE SERIES
To mark and celebrate 300 years since the birth of Adam Smith, we have put together a unique series of talks on the great man himself. These free sessions will be delivered by academics in the fields of Philosophy, Economics, and Sociology. These lectures will be looking at the formative parts of Smith's life, his views, his travels and his subsequent impact across the globe.
The lectures are not academic, rather aimed at everyone. We believe all should have the opportunity to connect to Smith as a son of Edinburgh and explore his life, work and the richness of Scottish Enlightenment thought.
Enquiry Concerning Hereafter
David Hume and Adam Smith, were giants of the Scottish Enlightenment in 18th century Edinburgh.
They were also the dearest of friends who stimulated, challenged, cared, pushed, and supported each other as they forged their profound ideas that still very much shape our world today.
Join us for the UK premiere of this fantastic exploration of the human condition.
