David Hume frente a la teoría del "amor propio" de Bernard Mandeville

In this article we analyze David Hume's criticism of Mandeville's self-esteem theory.In addition, we will critically analyze both Mandeville and Hume's morality systems: two different versions of utilitarianism.While Hume's version considers public happiness desirable, Mandeville advocates ethical indifference regarding public well-being and regards it as a means to achieve private happiness.This research defends the theory that both Hume and Mandeville justify social inequality as a necessary tool for progress, the origins of government, and justice
