Publisher's Synopsis
An Enquiry Into The Origin Of Honour And The Usefulness Of Christianity In War is a book written by Bernard Mandeville. The book explores the concept of honor and its origins, as well as the role of Christianity in war. Mandeville argues that honor is a social construct that has evolved over time and is not innate to human nature. He also believes that Christianity can be a useful tool in war, as it can provide soldiers with a sense of purpose and morality. Mandeville draws on historical and philosophical sources to support his arguments and offers a unique perspective on the relationship between honor, Christianity, and warfare. The book is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of these complex topics, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of war and the role of religion in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
