Estoy dándole vueltas a una cita del lbro "The theory of the Moral Sentiments" de Adam Smith. Como sabemos, "sensible" es un típico falso amigo que en la mayoría de los usos comunes tiene la acepción de "sensato" "razonable" "logico", no "sensible", aunque en determinados contextos pudiera ser sensible y similares. Doy la cita bastante completa para ver que proponeis sobre "sensible", en este contexto, a mi me parece que está alrededor de "sensato", etc.:

The orderly and flourishing state of society is agreeable to him, and he takes delight in contemplating it. Its disorder and confusion, on the contrary, is the object of his aversion, and he is chagrined at whatever tends to produce it. He is sensible too that his own interest is connected with the prosperity of society, and that the happiness, perhaps the preservation of his existence, depends upon its preservation.
