This edition includes, in addition to the most pertinent sections of The Fable’s two volumes, a selection from Mandeville’s An Enquiry into the Origin of Honor and selections from two of Mandeville’s most important sources: Pierre Bayle and the Jansenist Pierre Nicole. Hundert’s Introduction places Mandeville in a number of eighteenth-century debates—particularly that of the nature and morality of commercial modernity—and underscores the degree to which his work stood as a central problem, not only for his immediate English contemporaries, but for such philosophers as Hume, Rousseau, and Kant. The selections are substantive enough to faithfully represent Mandeville the social theorist, and compact enough to be used in courses that can afford to spend no more than a week on his work.
“Hundert is especially good at demonstrating how vital Mandeville’s ideas are as a major foundation for more famous Enlightenment thinkers such as Rousseau, Diderot, Voltaire and others. . . . The additions of Nicole and Bayle will be useful in courses on 18th century ethics and morals, and in general surveys of Enlightenment thought. This is probably the best one-volume edition of the main works of Mandeville now available.”
—Irwin Primer, Rutgers University
“An excellent edition of a much needed text. E. J.. Hundert’s addition of clear biographies, a coherent introduction, an appendix, and suggested readings adds to the book’s evident value in graduate and undergraduate teaching. Hundert has done an admirable job of contextualizing Mandeville’s Fable in the philosophical debates of human morality and sociability that were crucial to the development of liberalism. There can be no better and affordable introduction to the sources for students than Hundert’s new edition of this classic.”

曼德维尔悖论：私人恶德即公众利益。不是人之善，而是制度，会使坏人也可为大众的福祉服务；而制约自私行为恣意妄为的大多数制度是在人类实践中自然生成的；它们是人类行为的结果，但并非人类有意识设计的产物。曼德维尔认为，社会制度的发展，科学技术知识的增进等等，...
评分一 在M Nussbaum的《善的脆弱性》中所讨论的核心问题是“好生活”；但是这个好生活，不是B Williams在《哲学与伦理学的局限》中所提到的Socrates的问题：how should one live? 从这里，如我以前所说，分出了两个进路，一个是幸福，幸福从哪里来？这就是P Ehrlich在On Human Na...
评分曼德维尔只是想告诉人们他们真实的样子，在他的时代，为祛除一切附加于人的谎言，他做出了相当成功的努力。同样，斯密的分工理论也可溯源于此。

评分与旧版相比，最大的变化是当前这个版本更为完整了，此前没有译出的内容在这一版中都给补上了。不过Kaye的长篇导言和详尽的注释还是没有译出，当然译者在译序中也说明了这么做的理由，是否恰当实属见仁见智。不过书中大部分重要的译注仍取自Kaye的注释，窃以为标为“译注”不是...

so evil yet so true. maybe that's why Bacon said he always liked bees because they not only acquire but also collaborate and contribute. I tend to perceive it philosophically yet abstractly(Hegel or Darwin), however, I have to say it's less offensing when valued in the economics way of thinking and justifying.[Mar 18th @ Brown Science lib, e-Book obtained from GG public domain]
