Abstract

In this paper I argue that Bernard Mandeville, Jean Jacques Rousseau and Adam Smith are confronted to the same question: how to explain values from a naturalistic origin of morality. An in-depth analysis of their theories of human nature and market society will show that Rousseau is further from Mandeville's analysis than Smith acknowledged, and it is Smith who will in fact take important elements from Mandeville to build his own theoretical system and, thereby, follow the path of economic analysis beyond moral considerations.

伯纳德·曼德维尔的继承人亚当·斯密或让·雅克·卢梭关于经济分析的可能性

在本文中，我认为伯纳德·曼德维尔、让·雅克·卢梭和亚当·斯密都面临着同样的问题:如何从道德的自然主义起源来解释价值。深入分析他们关于人性和市场社会的理论就会发现，卢梭与曼德维尔的分析的距离比斯密所承认的要远，而事实上，正是斯密从曼德维尔那里汲取了重要的元素来构建自己的理论体系，从而走上了超越道德考量的经济分析之路。

期刊介绍： The European Journal of the History of Economic Thought (EJHET), a peer-reviewed journal, has quickly established itself as a leading forum for lively discussion on a wide range of issues in the history of economic thought. With contributions from both established international scholars and younger academics, EJHET is entirely pluralist and non-partisan with regard to subjects and methodologies - it does not subscribe to any particular current of thought, nor relate to any one geographic zone. The Managing Editors and Editorial Board and Advisory Board members are drawn from throughout Europe and beyond, and are committed to encouraging scholars from around the world to contribute to international research and debate.
