图书标签: 曼德维尔 政治哲学 Mandeville Enlightenment Bernard
The apprehension of society as an aggregation of self-interested individuals is a dominant modern concern, but one first systematically articulated during the Enlightenment. This book approaches this problem from the perspective of the challenge offered to inherited traditions of morality and social understanding by Bernard Mandeville, whose infamous paradoxical maxim "private vices, public benefits" profoundly disturbed his contemporaries, while his The Fable of the Bees had a decisive influence on David Hume, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Adam Smith and Immanuel Kant. Professor Hundert examines the sources and strategies of Mandeville's science of human nature and the role of his ideas in shaping eighteenth century economic, social and moral theories.
之前的曼德维尔研究要么太过夸饰其之历史地位,要么过分地将其局限在同时代人的论争当中,而这本书在这两者之间取得了很好地平衡
评分以本书作为进入曼德维尔所读的第一本二手文献是有点灾难性的。不过讲语言的部分提供了一些新的思路
评分目前最有分量的曼德维尔研究,虽然有一半篇幅在谈别的人。为了严肃对待曼德维尔“人的科学”对“社会”的发现,作者围绕三个重要环节(骄傲的驯化、自我作为伪装、奢侈与经济机制)呈现了曼德维尔与同时代人的争论,并以斯密问题作结。不过因为扯进来的人太多,尤其还有关于曼德维尔文学和形而上学的讨论,不太好读。
评分自Kaye之后最细致的曼德维尔研究,或者说一部“曼德维尔被误解的历史”。考据详备,洞见不多。
