Although never censored, Bernard Mandeville's anonymously published The Fable of the Bees; or Private Vices, Public Benefits came to be regarded soon after its publication in 1723 as the Enlightenment's epitome of immorality. As a naturalistic account of the mechanisms that condition human desire and of the unintended stabilizing social consequences of self-interested action, it has since been recognized as one the eighteenth century's most significant works of social theory.
Die Bienenfabel erschien erstmals im Jahre 1714. Die zweite, „erweiterte und ergänzte“ Auflage wurde 1723 in London publiziert. Die dritte Auflage (1724) enthielt wiederum zahlreiche Ergänzungen und Verbesserungen sowie einen Anhang, „Eine Verteidigung des Buches …“. Weitere Auflagen erschienen in den Jahren 1725, 1728 und 1729. Teil II der Fabel (reproduziert als Band 4 der vorliegenden Faksimile- Ausgabe der Werke von Mandeville) wurde erstmals 1729 veröffentlicht. Die 1732er Edition beider Teile war die letzte, die zu Mandevilles Lebzeiten erschien. The Fable of the Bees was first published in 1714. The second edition came out in London in 1723 and was “Enlarged with many Additions”. The third edition (1724) contained further revisions and additions and, as an appendix, “A Vindication of the Book…”. Further editions appeared in 1725, 1728 and 1729. Part II of the Fable (reproduced as volume 4 of the present facsimile collection) was first published in 1729. The 1732 edition of both parts was the last to appear in Mandeville’s lifetime.
Beginning with a poem and continuing with a number of essays and dialogues, this book is all tied together by the startling and original idea that private vices (self-interest) lead to public benefits (the development and operation of society).
