Beskrivelse af Reflections Upon Laughter, And Remarks Upon The Fable Of The Bees (1750)
Reflections Upon Laughter, And Remarks Upon The Fable Of The Bees is a book written by Francis Hutcheson in 1750. The book is divided into two parts. The first part of the book, Reflections Upon Laughter, is a philosophical exploration of the nature of laughter and its relation to human emotions and moral values. Hutcheson argues that laughter is a natural human response to incongruity and that it can be either virtuous or vicious depending on its object and intention.The second part of the book, Remarks Upon The Fable Of The Bees, is a critical analysis of Bernard Mandeville's controversial work, The Fable of the Bees. Hutcheson argues that Mandeville's thesis, that private vices can lead to public benefits, is fundamentally flawed and that it undermines the moral foundations of society. He contends that virtue is essential to the well-being of society and that selfishness and vice can only lead to corruption and decay.Overall, Reflections Upon Laughter, And Remarks Upon The Fable Of The Bees is a thought-provoking and insightful work that explores the complex relationship between human nature, morality, and society. Hutcheson's philosophical and moral arguments continue to be relevant and influential today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
