Division of Labor and Organism

Smith's primary Economic innovation is the organization of the work-force, aka the Division of Labor.   Now, essential to any such organization is Structure.  But, Atomism, according to which relations are inessential, cannot recognize that status of Structure.  Likewise inadequate to Structure is Empiricism, since it cannot be reduced to Sense-Data.  Now, effective functioning in a Division of Labor requires a recognition of the Good of the Structure.  But, such recognition cannot be derived from Selfishness, nor can it be grounded in Sympathy, which is merely undifferentiated fellow-feeling.  In other words, Smith's innovation strays from each of the Philosophical positions that he espouses over the course of his career.  Instead, as the term 'organization' suggests, the model for his system is the concept of Organism, though he does not extend it to his concepts of Psychology or Ethics.
