Synopsis "Anti-Shaftesbury Oder Die Entlarvte Eitelkeit Der Selbstliebe Und Ruhmsucht (1761) (in German)"

Das Buch ""Anti-Shaftesbury Oder Die Entlarvte Eitelkeit Der Selbstliebe Und Ruhmsucht"" wurde im Jahr 1761 von Bernard de Mandeville verfasst. Es handelt sich hierbei um eine Kritik an dem Werk des englischen Philosophen Anthony Ashley Cooper, dem dritten Earl of Shaftesbury. Mandeville argumentiert, dass die Ideen von Shaftesbury, die die Tugendhaftigkeit und die Moral betreffen, lediglich Ausdruck von Eitelkeit und Selbstliebe seien. In dem Buch wird die These aufgestellt, dass das Streben nach Ruhm und Anerkennung die treibende Kraft hinter allen menschlichen Handlungen sei. Mandeville behauptet, dass die Gesellschaft nur durch das Egoismus und die Selbstsucht der Individuen zusammengehalten werde. Das Buch gilt als ein wichtiger Beitrag zur Diskussion �����ber die menschliche Natur und die Rolle der Moral in der Gesellschaft.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Bernard Mandeville (Rotterdam, November 15, 1670 – Hackney, January 21, 1733) was an influential Anglo-Dutch thinker: physician, satirist, moral philosopher, and proto-economist. He earned his medical degree in Leiden in 1691 and moved to England shortly thereafter, where he practiced as a specialist in nervous and digestive diseases, and became highly esteemed socially.

His most famous work, The Fable of the Bees: or, Private Vices, Public Benefits (1714), includes the original poem The Grumbling Hive (1705) accompanied by philosophical essays on moral virtue, benevolence, and hypotheses of society.
In this satire, Mandeville presents the paradox: private vices—such as luxury, vanity, or lust—generate social benefits by boosting consumption and employment, while austere virtue detracts from wealth and economic dynamism.
