Bag om Remarks On The Fable Of The Bees

Remarks on the Fable of the Bees: With an Introduction is a book written by William Law in 1844. The book is a critical analysis of the popular poem, The Fable of the Bees, written by Bernard Mandeville. Law argues that the poem, which celebrates the virtues of self-interest and greed, is morally corrupt and promotes a dangerous philosophy. He believes that the pursuit of self-interest at the expense of others is not only immoral but also ultimately self-destructive. Law's book is a powerful critique of the prevailing attitudes of his time and a call for a more ethical and compassionate approach to life. The book includes an introduction that provides background information on Law and his views, as well as a detailed analysis of the Fable of the Bees. It is a thought-provoking and insightful work that continues to be relevant today.With An Appendix, Containing The Poem Of The Fable Of The Bees, Mandeville�������s Introduction And Treatise On The Origin Of Morality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
