The Rationale Of Reward (1830)

By Jeremy Bentham

Book Overview

The Rationale of Reward is a philosophical treatise written by Jeremy Bentham in 1830. The book explores the concept of reward and its role in human behavior and motivation. Bentham argues that rewards are essential for encouraging individuals to act in ways that benefit society as a whole. He examines various types of rewards, including monetary compensation, social recognition, and personal satisfaction, and considers their effectiveness in different contexts. Bentham also discusses the potential drawbacks of reward systems, such as the possibility of creating perverse incentives or encouraging unethical behavior. The Rationale of Reward is a thought-provoking work that continues to influence discussions on the role of incentives in modern society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
