Smith, best known for his work on economics, may seem an unlikely figure to draw upon in this context. However, his nuanced account of 'sympathy'-conceived as an imaginative and reflective capacity that develops within and through social experience-greatly enriches the role of imagination in fostering mutual understanding and solidarity among a diverse citizenry.
