Although known as the founder of modern utilitarianism and the source of analytical jurisprudence, Jeremy Bentham today is infrequently read but often caricatured. Based on a study of Bentham's most important works, this volume offers a reinterpretation of Bentham's main philosophical doctrines, his principle of utility and his analysis of law. The evidence indicates that Bentham was no universalist in morals, but embraced a dual standard - in politics the community's interest, in private ethics the agent's interest - which may in turn be based on the idea that government should serve the interests of those who are governed.;The arguments presented in this text challenge many common assumptions about Bentham's view of human nature and of political institutions. A new reading is also given to his theory of law, which suggests Bentham's insight, originality and continued interest for philosophers and legal theorists.;This revised edition of the text contains a new preface, a revised bibliography, and two new indexes, one of names and one of subjects, which together replace the original index.

Subjects:
Jurisprudence
Contents:
Introduction: The need for re-examination.
Part 1 Bentham's utilitarianism: a differential interpretation; the consistency of the dual standard; the convergence of interests; the development of Bentham's position.
Part 2 Bentham on the nature of law: the imperational theory of law; motivation and control.
