Summary
Bentham's 'An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation' is often considered the first work of the philosophical school of utilitarianism and is thus a central text for students of philosophy. Sverdlik's exposition of Bentham's thinking serves as an invaluable guide for students and scholars seeking to better understand Bentham's book. By explaining and evaluating its major themes and central arguments, Sverdlik helps readers to relate this important work to contemporary discussions in moral philosophy and the philosophy of criminal law.
