Description:
London: Printed for John Brotherton,, 1732. First edition of the final book by the great political philosopher. The Enquiry develops the arguments of the Fable of the Bees (1729), Mandeville's most famous work. The work is structured as a dialogue between two interlocutors, Horatio and Cleomenes, whom Mandeville acknowledges elsewhere as his alter ego. Within a few weeks of the Enquiry's publication, George Berkeley had published his famed attack on Mandeville in the Alciphron. Bernard Mandeville (1670-1733) grew up and studied in the Netherlands, before settling in England after the Glorious Revolution. In the Enquiry, he outlines a sociological analysis of contemporary systems of honour and religion, arguing that each functions as a device for socializing humans. For Richard Cook, the Enquiry allowed Mandeville to expand and embellish his arguments "with a show of urbane detachment in sharp contrast to the clamorous abuse favored by most of his critics" (p. 143). Octavo (195 x 121 mm). Contemporary… Read More

Description:
London: Printed for John Brotherton,, 1732. First edition of the author's last book; the final instalment of a long string of incendiary treatises which incensed his contemporaries. Following his tracts attacking Christian ethics, defending brothels, and opposing charity schools, Mandeville here turns to the readiness with which Christianity can be perverted to militarism, and asserts that honour is no more than pride. As with his Fable of the Bees, Part II (1729, an entirely different work to the first part) the treatise takes the form of a dialogue between two interlocutors, Cleomenes and Horatio. "Mandeville repeated his view that the passions of pride and shame are both forms of self-liking. Honour and (worldly) religion are treated as devices that are useful for socializing humans. Honour is discovered to be even less demanding than virtue or the artificial courage discussed in the Fable of the Bees. The work again reveals Mandeville's anti-clericalism in his account of how a perverted version… Read More
