This volume, published within the prestigious Soviet "Philosophical Heritage" (Filosofskoye Naslediye) series, marks the definitive Russian-language edition of Bernard Mandeville's most influential and controversial work. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of Mandeville's socio-economic theory, including the arrangement of the original poem "The Grumbling Hive" and the extensive prose remarks that follow, where he famously argues that "private vices" can lead to "public benefits." This edition is a vital primary source for understanding the development of early 18th-century moral philosophy and its profound influence on subsequent thinkers, including Adam Smith and the evolution of classical liberalism.
