(syllabus)
The course will focus on Bernard de Mandeville's Fable of the Bees. In particular, it will highlight the features that made it a favourite target of the arrows of philosophers such as Berkeley, Hutcheson, Hume, Rousseau and Smith, who were also often influenced by it: hedonism in general and the rehabilitation of "lust", the anti-Christian polemic, the deconstruction of traditional morals.
