Bentham's Political Thought

In this book, first published in 1973, the editor has drawn heavily on Benthams manuscripts and has tried to provide a coherent statement of Benthams legal and political thought. Unlike Plato, Aristotle, Hobbes or Mill, Bentham did not write one single work containing the basic principles of his legal and political philosophy. This titles presents Benthams work in a systematic manner, and will be of interest to students of philosophy, politics and history.
