His impartial-spectator process is a dynamic call upward, enabling one to better sustain his or her locus of affirmation, to better cohere as a just human being. The puzzle is always: Wherein lies \u003cem\u003ebetter\u003c\/em\u003e? Which way is \u003cem\u003eup\u003c\/em\u003e? Smith's approach to the puzzle runs against foundationalism. His ethical thought is here called \u003cem\u003ebeholderism\u003c\/em\u003e. It is organized by organons, chief of which is the notion of a beholder who is God or who is God-like in knowledge and universal benevolence (if not more).
