Description: Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation, Paperback by Bentham, Jeremy, ISBN 0486454525, ISBN-13 9780486454528, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US
Based on the assumption that individuals seek pleasure and avoid pain, Benthams 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 Benthams 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.
