Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 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. "Unabridged republication of the edition published by Oxford at the Clarendon Press, Oxford, in 1907. It in turn was a reprint of 'A new edition, corrected by the author,' published in 1823. The work originally appeared in 1780"--Title page vers Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780486454528
