Product Information

Why we should take Bernard Mandeville seriously as a philosopher Bernard Mandeville's The Fable of the Bees outraged its eighteenth-century audience by proclaiming that private vices lead to public prosperity. Today the work is best known as an early iteration of laissez-faire capitalism. In this book, Robin Douglass looks beyond the notoriety of Mandeville's great work to reclaim its status as one of the most incisive philosophical studies of human nature and the origin of society in the Enlightenment era. Focusing on Mandeville's moral, social, and political ideas, Douglass offers a revelatory account of why we should take Mandeville seriously as a philosopher. Douglass expertly reconstructs Mandeville's theory of how self-centred individuals, who care for their reputation and social standing above all else, could live peacefully together in large societies. Pride and shame are the principal motives of human behaviour, on this account, with a large dose of hypocrisy and self-deception lying behind our moral practices. In his analysis, Douglass attends closely to the changes between different editions of the Fable ; considers Mandeville's arguments in light of objections and rival accounts from other eighteenth-century philosophers, including Shaftesbury, Hume, and Smith; and draws on more recent findings from social psychology. With this detailed and original reassessment of Mandeville's philosophy, Douglass shows how The Fable of the Bees --by shining a light on the dark side of human nature--has the power to unsettle readers even today.

Reviews
"[ Mandeville's Fable ] is a work of serious scholarship. . . . Douglass provides a clear and compelling account of Mandeville's moral and social thought, one that establishes its subject as a serious thinker whose provocative and 'unsettling' . . . ideas retain today their power to provoke and unsettle." ---Brandon Turner, Perspectives on Politics, "[E]ngaging and compelling . . . a must-read for anyone interested in the history of philosophy and political philosophy in the broadest sense, as well as moral and social psychology--and indeed for anyone who is, or who wishes to quickly become, interested in Mandeville." ---Elad Carmel, Philosophy in Review, " Mandeville's Fable is an enviably learned volume. Lucidly written and judicious in tone, Douglass' treatment of Mandeville as a social philosopher par excellence sets a high bar for scholars who hope to walk the interpretive tightrope between intellectual history and philosophy as effortlessly as he does." ---Glory M. Liu, Centre for the Study of Governance & Society, "An astute and engaging work of intellectual history. . . . Mr. Douglass's book insightfully probes Mandeville's account of prideful sociability, testing it against the criticism of, among others, David Hume." ---Jeffrey Collins, Wall Street Journal, " Unquestionably, Douglass has done enough to show why Mandeville was such an influential figure in the eighteenth century and why we should pay more attention to him today, not by telling a reception history but rather by giving us the most comprehensive and convincing interpretation we have of Mandeville's philosophy to date. " ---Max Skjönsberg, Law & Liberty, " An astute and engaging work of intellectual history. . . . Mr. Douglass's book insightfully probes Mandeville's account of prideful sociability, testing it against the criticism of, among others, David Hume. " ---Jeffrey Collins, Wall Street Journal
