""An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation"" is a two-volume work by philosopher and social reformer Jeremy Bentham, originally published in 1789. The second volume, published in 1823, expands on the ideas presented in the first volume and delves deeper into his utilitarian philosophy. In this work, Bentham argues that the goal of moral and legal systems should be to promote the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people. He proposes a system of ethics based on the principle of utility, which holds that actions should be judged by their ability to increase happiness and decrease pain. Bentham also discusses the concept of natural rights, arguing that they are simply legal fictions that have been created to serve the interests of society. He proposes a system of government that is based on the principle of utility and advocates for the abolition of laws that do not serve this principle. Overall, ""An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation"" is a foundational work in the field of utilitarian philosophy and has had a significant influence on modern political and legal systems.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
