2. The impartial spectator develops within the person as part of his efforts to align his feelings with those of the people immediately around him. His political philosophy tends a minimalist state. He did not want the state to mismanage the economy, and he did not want it to promote religion or virtue. He did not believe that the political life was the crown of the moral life, or that law or political institutions can help people develop virtue.
