Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Remarks Upon A Late Book, Entitled The Fable Of The Bees: Or Private Vices, Public Benefits In Letter To The Author (1726) is a critical response to the popular work of Bernard Mandeville, The Fable of the Bees. Written by William Law, this book is a collection of letters addressed to Mandeville, in which Law argues against the central thesis of Mandeville's work. Mandeville's book argues that private vices, such as greed and selfishness, can lead to public benefits, such as economic growth and prosperity. However, Law takes issue with this argument, and instead argues that virtue and morality are necessary for the well-being of society. He also critiques Mandeville's views on religion and the role of government in society. Overall, Remarks Upon A Late Book, Entitled The Fable Of The Bees is a significant work of moral and political philosophy, and a notable contribution to the ongoing debate over the relationship between individual self-interest and the common good.To Which Is Added, A Postscript, Containing An Observation Or Two Upon Mr. Bayle.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
