Abstract


Mandeville is an author who clearly bet on religious tolerance and a state religion with which the clever politician was able to achieve social cohesion and economic progress. My work shows this evidence as a starting point but pretends to present that once the work of political and social organization has been made with merely human (non-religious) material Mandeville considers that it is necessary to ask questions of a religious nature that treat God as a Friend who gives us the needed hope to live in a world of just a human mesure.
