In The Bourgeois and the Savage, Alfonso Maurizio Iacono reveals that this apparently simple and transparent image is imbued with a profound complexity containing human and social relationships, which are intertwined with relationships of power, domination, inequality, colonisation and servitude. As Karl Marx argued, and as was later confirmed by twentieth-century anthropology, the isolated individual does not stand at the beginning of history; he can emerge only where social relationships are already very developed and where society appears as a tool used for private purposes. Considering the writings of Daniel Defoe, the great French Enlightenment philosopher Turgot, and the father of political economy Adam Smith, The Bourgeois and the Savage critically analyses the process which led to the naturalisation of the image of the isolated man and traces its development and transformation into a still dominant paradigm. Alfonso Maurizio Iacono is Professor of History of Philosophy at the University of Pisa, Italy. 410 0$aMarx, Engels, and Marxisms,$x2524-7131 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aPolitical science$xPhilosophy 606 $aPolitical sociology 606 $aEurope$xHistory 606 $aInternational economic relations 606 $aPolitical Theory 606 $aPolitical Philosophy 606 $aPolitical Sociology 606 $aEuropean History 606 $aInternational Political Economy? 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aPolitical science$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aPolitical sociology. 615 0$aEurope$xHistory. 615 0$aInternational economic relations. 615 14$aPolitical Theory. 615 24$aPolitical Philosophy. 615 24$aPolitical Sociology. 615 24$aEuropean History. 615 24$aInternational Political Economy?. 676 $a320.01 676 $a940 700 $aIacono$b Alfonso Maurizio$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0882891 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910383838203321 996 $aThe Bourgeois and the Savage$91972339 997 $aUNINA
