Pannomial Fragments (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169205932)

Pannomial Fragments is a collection of writings by the English philosopher and social reformer Jeremy Bentham. The book contains a series of essays and fragments on a wide range of topics, including law, politics, economics, and ethics. Bentham's writing is characterized by his utilitarian philosophy, which emphasizes the importance of maximizing happiness and minimizing suffering in society.The book is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Bentham's thought. The first section deals with his ideas about the nature of law and legal systems, including his famous concept of the ""greatest happiness principle"" as the foundation of legislation. The second section explores Bentham's ideas about politics and government, including his proposals for democratic reforms and his criticisms of the British monarchy.The third section of the book focuses on economics, and includes Bentham's thoughts on free trade, taxation, and the role of government in regulating the economy. The final section of the book deals with ethics and morality, and includes Bentham's ideas about the nature of happiness and the importance of individual liberty.Overall, Pannomial Fragments is a comprehensive and thought-provoking collection of Bentham's writings, offering insights into his influential ideas about law, politics, economics, and ethics.For justification of the legislative arrangements necessary to afford security against maleficent acts affecting the person, what it is necessary to show is, that by them pain will not be produced in such quantity as will cause it to outweigh the pleasure that would have been produced by the maleficent acts so prevented.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
