Having studied law himself, Bentham strove to educate those in the government and the public about his view of the \"correct\" way to run the judicial system. Bentham details the English government's laws and punishments, evaluating their morality through the principle of utility. He deems \"right\" the policies that bring pleasure to the most people and pain to the least. JEREMY BENTHAM (1748-1832) was a prominent English social reformer at the turn of the eighteenth century. Although he never practiced law, Bentham was trained as a lawyer and became a vocal critic of the legal system in England. As a political philosopher, he published many works on government and law, such as the Introduction to Principles of Morals and Legislation (1789) and Parliamentary Reform Catechism (1817).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeremy Bentham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cosimo Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Cosimo Classics Philosophy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 414\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.92d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781616407766","brand":"Cosimo Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44365833994377,"sku":"9781616407766","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_d0b466c3-b602-442e-9592-9227400efb21.jpg?v=1751347121","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/an-introduction-to-the-principles-of-morals-and-legislation-9781616407766","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
