"Every individual is continually
exerting himself to find out the most advantageous employment for
whatever capital he can command. It is his own advantage, indeed, and
not that of society, which he has in view. But the study of his own
advantage, naturally or necessarily, leads him to prefer that
employment which is most advantageous to the society.... By pursuing
his own interest he frequently promotes that of society more
effectually than he intends to promote it. (Adam Smith, The

Lasting a little while longer:
Never such innocence again.

(Quiz)
In English the original
title of Levis memoir: Se questo e un uomo
is If This Is a Man
Can you finish the sentence for him?
Levi took his own life
years later in 1987. He survived Auschwitz physically, but in the end
it can be argued that the experience robbed him of his life.
Throughout the fourth
quarter we have been thinking about how the Greek Ideal was challenged
by the twin forces of industrial revolution and colonialism.
Ultimately, the social pressures of industrial change led to outbursts
of savagery among the most advanced nations on earth.
How can the curious title
of Levis memoir and his ultimate rejection of life be linked to our
understanding of the ultimate fate of liberalism? (Discussion 1)
