Produktbeschreibung

Jeremy Bentham's (1748-1832) writings in social and political thought were both theoretical and practical. As a theorist, he made important contributions to the modern understanding of the principle of utility, to ideas of sovereignty, liberty and justice and to the importance of radical reform in a representative democracy. This volume includes essays from leading Bentham scholars plus an introduction, surveying recent scholarship.
