12、與市場的關(guān)系？有無“亞當(dāng)斯密問題”？ 19世紀(jì)德國人提出了“斯密問題”（das Adam Smith Problem）：在道德情操論中提出的同情原理與他在國富論中提出的利己心原理相互矛盾。 斯密在道德情操論中把人的行為歸結(jié)于同情，而在國富論中卻把人的行為歸結(jié)于自私。 能夠解決經(jīng)濟短缺問題（economic scarcity）的是個人利益和效用，還是仁愛和同情？22道德情操論 “人，不管被認(rèn)為是多么的自私，在他人性中顯然還有一些原理，促使他關(guān)心他人的命運，使他人的幸福成為他的幸福必備的條件，盡管除了看到他人幸福他自己也覺得快樂之外，他從他人的幸福中得不到任何其他好處?！?3國富論 “我們決不能指
