Smith deals in an original way with a wide variety of contemporary issues-from the relation between popular and high culture to the conflicting conception of human motives and actions in economic theory and classical humanism. In an important final chapter, she addresses directly the crucial problem of relativism and explains why a denial of the objectivity of value does not-as commonly feared and charged-produce either a fatuous egalitarianism or moral and political paralysis.
