Fénelon and the refinement of self-love
Drawing on his past work as an interpreter of Adam Smith, Hanley offers an account of Fénelon’s social and political thought that emphasizes the role (and the dangers) of pride and self-love in human affairs. Fénelon does not join those, like Mandeville and La Rochefoucauld, who seek to understand and possibly to control self-love. Instead, he attempts to wed a far more rigorous and classical approach to the problem of pride—namely, the refinemen…
Privates Vices, Public Benefits
Scholars often interpret Machiavelli's Mandragola as a contest of would-be princes displaying their virtù. I offer an alternative interpretation of the play in which the characters, each vicious and self-interested, constitute an "economy of vice." This interpretation highlights Machiavelli's appreciation for the public (and political) import of ordinary vice and thereby provides – when considered in light of medieval influences on Machiavelli's …
Mandeville against Luxury
For three hundred years, Bernard Mandeville was considered the first great apologist for luxury and the unsavory dimensions of commercial society, a reputation that remains largely intact even as scholars reconsider the depth and influence of his thought. Here, I argue that Mandeville’s attitude toward luxury and material excess is far more ambivalent—indeed, highly critical—than previously thought. As societies became wealthier and more literate…
Democratical Gentlemen and the Lust for Mastery
Neorepublican treatments of Hobbes argue that his conception of liberty was deliberately developed to counter a revived and Roman-rooted republican theory of liberty. In doing so, Hobbes rejects republican liberty, and, with it, Roman republicanism. We dispute this narrative and argue that rather than rejecting Roman liberty, per se, Hobbes identifies and attacks a language of liberty, Roman in character, often abused by ambitious persons. This i…
Adam Ferguson on “Action” and the Possibility of Non-Political Participation
Political theorists who are interested in the Western republican tradition often interpret Adam Ferguson as a civic humanist and contrast his work with the liberal institutionalism of Hume and Smith. I argue that the republican interpretation fails to understand Ferguson's view of human action and thereby obscures his potential contribution to liberal theory. This article offers a comprehensive account of Ferguson's concept of action, and emphasi…
John Stuart Mill and the Antagonistic Foundation of Liberal Politics
The agonistic critique of liberalism argues that liberal theory unwisely eliminates conflict from the design of liberal-democratic institutions and understandings of liberal citizenship. John Stuart Mill anticipates and resolves the agonistic critique by incorporating several theories of antagonism into his political theory. At the institutional level, Mill places two antagonisms at the center of his political theory: the tension between the popu…
