Chapter 1Men Become Sociable by Living Together in Society: Re-assessing Mandeville’s Social Theory

Jack, Malcolm

Pages: 1 –13

[In the first part of the Fable of the Bees, Mandeville’s emphasis is on developing a passionate theory of man in society, greatly influenced by his reading of French sceptical literature, mediated through his mentor, Pierre Bayle. That analytical tradition provided a psychological theory of man...

Chapter 2Bernard de Mandeville and the Shaping of Conjectural History

Palmeri, Frank

Pages: 15 –24

[This paper argues that Bernard Mandeville’s Fable of the Bees, Part II (1729), is the first work to bring together all the elements of conjectural history, a form that rose to prominence in the Enlightenment, between 1750 and 1800. Conjectural history builds on the natural law tradition of...

Chapter 3Mandeville and the Eighteenth-Century Discussions About Luxury

Balsemão Pires, Edmundo

Pages: 25 –47

[Luxury entails a public differentiating use of objects and commodities, which is grounded on the overlapping of the spending with commodities and the ostentation of perceptible signs stimulating social imitation. In the eighteenth century, the debates on luxury emphasized the importance of the...

Chapter 4Sex, Money, and Feelings: Mandeville’s Dialogue with Sentimental Drama

Rosenthal, Laura J.

Pages: 49 –63

[“Sex, Money, and Feelings” suggest the possibility of a dialogue between Bernard Mandeville and the reformist playwrights. In response to attacks on the stage as immoral, Colley Cibber and Richard Steele reformed and sentimentalized the English stage. The vices they attack in their plays –...

Chapter 5Humorism A Posteriori: Fables and Dialogues as a Method in Mandeville’s Thought

Chiessi, Alessandro

Pages: 65 –77

[In this essay, I would show how Mandeville’s literary experimentalism seems to be the consequence of an epistemological aim: the objectification of the case study. Taking seriously Mandeville’s statements about the “Reader’s Diversion” in a “Good Humor’d manner”, it is possible to see an...

Chapter 6Mandeville, Pope, and Apocalypse

Knox-Shaw, Peter

Pages: 79 –90

[Some years before the Scriblerians brought a comic realism to bear on the themes of prophecy and apocalypse, Mandeville gave millenarians a taste of their own medicine by showing – in the conclusion to The Grumbling Hive – that a land free of the offences decried by the pious would indeed prove...

Chapter 7The Fable of the Bees: proles sine matre?

Guion, Béatrice

Pages: 91 –104

[From a literary point of view, The Fable of the Bees is a mixture of genres. The premise of this paper is that formal choices are not only formal, but say something about Mandeville’s intents, and are not without relevance about the signification of the Fable. The first version, The Grumbling...

Chapter 8Mandeville as a Sceptical and Medical Philosopher

Romão, Rui Bertrand

Pages: 105 –112

[Bernard Mandeville, in his double condition as physician and as moral and political philosopher of the early eighteenth century in Great Britain was clearly linked by many of his contemporaries to the sceptics, and not only to his contemporary sceptics but also to Ancient Pyrrhonians. However,...

Chapter 9Is Adam Smith Heir of Bernard Mandeville?

Çeşmeli, Işıl

Pages: 113 –124

[Sociability, sympathy, moral sense, benevolence and self-love constituted the main themes of the eighteenth century moral discourse. Scottish philosophers of the era principally focused on the fact that moral sentiments could not be offspring of self-interest. Hutcheson’s theory of moral sense,...

Chapter 10Mandeville on Pride and Animal Nature

Callanan, John J.

Pages: 125 –136

[Mandeville’s first publication – the thesis Disputatio Philosophica de Brutorum Operationibus (1689) – advocated the Cartesian position that both denied feeling and sensation, let alone thought, to non-human animals and stressed the inherent distinctiveness of the conscious sensory and...
