We will be dealing with the following questions in discussion tomorrow:
Describe the differences between the industrial and French revolutions. What is the definition of the word "revolution"?
How does Smith's system of conflicting social classes end up functioning as if led by an "invisible hand"?
What is Smith's view of morality? How would you compare it to Kant and Wollstonecraft?

I was wondering exactly what "domestic sphere" is being defined as in this section. Is it referring to purely househeld and maternal duties?
By the way, this is Lauren Lacy, I just couldn't remember my password, so I'm Lulu now too.
Lauren,
I think I answered your question in class last week, but yes, the domestic sphere means the realm of the household, where females reigned supreme. This is opposed to the public sphere, which was the sphere of public debate and free trade. Usually, the public sphere was considered the realm of rationality and was associated with men, while the domestic sphere (also called the private sphere) was associated with women and was centered on the emotions.
