In the light of Levinas’s ethics, where the death is present and central in the concept of fundamental responsibility to safeguard the humanity, it’s possible to observe the incidence of the death in the formation of the feeling and moral sense in Smith’s writings. The valuation of the role of the death in the theory of the moral feelings thanks to this comparative study allows to emphasize the function of oneself and another’s care that underlies his theory and to perceive his possible contributions in the reflections and the ethical debates related to death and life.
