An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation

Autor Jeremy Bentham Editat de Rociu Daniel Eduard
en Limba Engleză Paperback
This version of this book is NOT a facsimile reprint of the original, it has been re-written so it is easier to read than many other available versions. This work, originally printed in 1780, and first published in 1789, contains Jeremy Bentham's most famous analysis of the principle of utility. He distinguishes between its role in explaining why agents act as they do, and in pointing out the way in which they ought to act. The work also includes discussions of the limits of legislation and the nature of offenses and punishment. *** Bentham is the first and perhaps the greatest of the "philosophical radicals," and his fundamental principle is utilitarianism or "the greatest happiness of the greatest number," a phrase of which he is generally, though erroneously, regarded as the author. The effect of his writings on legislation and the administration of the law has been almost incalculable. He left his body to be dissected; and his skeleton, clothed in his usual attire, is preserved in University College, London.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

First published in 1789, Jeremy Bentham's best-known work remains a classic of modern philosophy and jurisprudence. Its definitions of the foundations of utilitarian philosophy and its groundbreaking studies of crime and punishment retain their relevance to modern issues of moral and political philosophy, economics, and legal theory.
Based on the assumption that individuals seek pleasure and avoid pain, Bentham's utilitarian perspective forms a guide to moral decision-making. With the "greatest happiness of the greatest number" as his objective, the author attempts to identify the sources and varieties of pleasure and pain as well as the ways in which they can be measured in assessing moral options. Considerations of intentionality, consciousness, motives, and dispositions support Bentham's arguments. The text concludes with his survey of purpose and the role of law and jurisprudence, a fascinating exercise in the theory of social reform that explores conflicts between the interests of the majority and individual freedom.
