Berkeley and Mandeville: Religion and morality
Vol 12, No 1 (2011) • Filosofia Unisinos - Unisinos Journal of Philosophy
Autor: Antonio Carlos dos Santos
Resumo:
The purpose of this text is to analyze the debate between Berkeley’s Alciphron and Mandeville’s The fable of the bees and Letter to Dion, focusing on the questions indirectly raised by Berkeley to his opponent: Would there be a place for religion in Mandeville’s society or in his social, political and economic system? If so, what role would it play? Without religion, on what foundations would morality in social life be based?
