Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Remarks Upon A Late Book, Entituled The Fable Of The Bees offers a detailed critique of Bernard Mandeville's controversial work, 'The Fable of the Bees: Or, Private Vices, Publick Benefits.' William Law meticulously dissects Mandeville's arguments, challenging the notion that societal prosperity can arise from individual vices. Law defends traditional moral values and argues for the importance of virtue in maintaining a healthy and just society. This response provides valuable insight into the ethical and philosophical debates of the 18th century, highlighting the tensions between individual self-interest and the common good. Readers interested in the history of ethical thought and the reception of Mandeville's ideas will find Law's 'Remarks' an engaging and intellectually stimulating read.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
