Works; Volume 10

By Jeremy Bentham and John Bowring

Book Overview

This tenth volume of the collected "Works" of Jeremy Bentham offers scholars and enthusiasts access to the foundational texts of utilitarian philosophy and legal reform. Edited by Sir John Bowring, this collection showcases Bentham's rigorous analytical approach and his commitment to rationalizing law and governance. Bentham's writings challenge traditional notions of justice and propose a system based on the principle of maximizing happiness for the greatest number.

Readers will gain insight into Bentham's theories on punishment, legislation, and the role of government in promoting social welfare. His ideas, though rooted in the 19th century, continue to resonate in contemporary debates about ethics, public policy, and legal reform. This volume is essential for anyone interested in the history of political thought and the development of modern legal systems.
