----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- Edward Harpham, in "The Problem of Liberty in the Thought of Adam Smith", [JHET, no.2, 2000, p.229-230, n.7] writes that an insightful discussion of similarities between Smith and Kant can be found in Knud Haakonson's book NATURAL LAW AND MORAL PHILOSOPHY: FROM GROTIUS TO THE SCOTTISH ENLIGHTENMENT [1981]. It may be a useful source. In the same note, Harpham expresses circumspection about Fleiscacker's reading of Smith through the lens of Kant.
