For Bentham, obligation is a fictitious - namely linguistic - entity, whose import and truth lie in empirical perceptions of pain and pleasure, 'real' entities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work explores Bentham's fictionalism, and aims to identify the general features that ethical fictitious entities (including obligation) share with other kinds of fictitious entities. The book is divided into two parts: the first examines the ontological and epistemological foundations of Bentham's distinction between real and fictitious entities; the second part addresses the normative and motivational aspects of moral and legal notions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book reveals the centrality of the following issues to Bentham's legal reform: logic, theory of language, physics, metaphysics, metaethics, axiology, moral psychology, the structure of practical reasoning and action with reference to the law.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Piero Tarantino\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 113849657X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138496576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/28\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Piero Tarantino","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48113277862143,"sku":"9781138496576","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a894fe06-6d70-4506-8e7a-94f47b62ec87.jpg?v=1769614041","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/philosophy-obligation-and-the-law-piero-tarantino-9781138496576","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
