摘要
斯密的交易通义观在字面意思上自觉地主张,交易双方只有利己的动机、没有利他的动机,并对现代经济学产生了深远影响。但深入解读会发现,这段经典论述的深层内涵其实自发地指认了经济人内在地兼有利己和利他的动机,因此不仅否定了'利己经济人'的预设,足以让'看不见的手'成为看得见的,而且还能破解所谓的'斯密悖论'。至于误导斯密在这个问题上陷入自败的主要原因,则是西方道德哲学围绕利己与利他关系设置的二元对立架构。
In his classic discourse on the essence of commercial transaction,Adam Smith consciously advocated that the both sides of the transaction have only selfish motives but no altruistic motives,which has had a profound influence on modern economics.However,a close interpretation of this discourse will reveal that its deep connotation actually identifies the fact that the economic man has both selfish and altruistic motives.As a result,this simple fact would deny the false premise of the'selfish economic man',make the so-called'invisible hand'become visible,and even dissolve the famous'Smith Paradox'.Furthermore,the main reason for Smith’s self-defeating discussion on this issue is the distorted influence of the dichotomy between the'selfish'and the'altruistic'in western moral philosophy.
