BARENT (BERNARDUS) DE MANDEVILLE, was bap. 20 Nov. 1670 at Rotterdam.  Wit.:
Pieternella van Riemsdijk, Barent Verhaar, and Ds. Paulus Letenius.  On 17 Sept.
1686 he registered as a student at Leiden Univeristy (Bernardus de Mandeville,
Roterodamensis, 20 years, phil.), and again registered there 19 Mar. 1691
(Bernardus de Mandeville, Rotterodamensis, 20 years (!), med.).  He was an
English specialist of Nervous diseases and stomach disorders and philopspher.
He died at Hackney 21 Jan. 1733.  "He applied the naturalism of Hobbes in the
sense of "the Enlightenment" in a more practical way.  In "the fable of the
bees", which appeared in 1705 under the title "the grumbling hive", he showed
that life in an apiary, is at its best when egotism (ambition, vanity, deceit,
carousal, etc.) is common, but that decline and decadence occur when
unselfishness and pure virtue are extolled as principle.  Egotistical motives
drive humanity onwards towards culture.  De Mandeville was persecuted for this
this so-called immoral tendency of his book.  His later works also, like "Free
thoughts in religion" (1720), and "A search into the nature of society" (1723),
also gave umbrage.
