| Synopsis: |
This title explores Bentham's political philosophy in its historical and intellectual context and in the light of his own later reassessment of his philosophical project. Exploring the life, work and ideas of the great 19th Century utilitarian philosopher Jeremy Bentham, this study takes a unique look at his intellectual project from the point of view of the development of his political thought and later reassessment of his own ideas. Placing Bentham's work in its historical and intellectual context, "Utilitarian Philosophy and Politics" considers in particular Bentham's utilitarianism in relation to his later engagement with political and constitutional reform. James Crimmins argues that, despite being one of the most argued over philosophers of the 19th century, Bentham remains one of the most misunderstood of political philosophers. By attempting to look again at the context in which Bentham was writing and his self-conscious concern with his own legacy, this book offers a new and comprehensive account of this major political and moral thinker. "Continuum Studies in British Philosophy" presents cutting-edge scholarship in the history of British philosophy.The wholly original arguments, perspectives and research findings in titles in this series make it an important and stimulating resource for students and academics from across the field. |
