Two of the main targets of this paper are, precisely, to show how Mandeville’s hypothetical thought supports the critical observation that eighteenth-century society makes about itself, and, at a pure- ly theoretical level, to point out the similarities and differences that bind it to the so-called “conjectural history”. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/89055 | DOI: | http://dx.doi.org/10.15160/2282-5460/1342 | Rights: | openAccess |
