%X This article examined several crucial themes in Adam Smith¡¯s philosophy with the purpose of highlighting and assessing his contribution to the secularisation of Western society. The article, written from the perspective of reformational philosophy, begins with a brief biography and sketch of Adam Smith¡¯s influence on modern society, followed by a summary of Ponti Venter¡¯s view on Smith. This sets the scene for a discussion of Adam Smith¡¯s project, his method of tackling it, and his views on systems, philosophy of history and the concept of philosophy.
