This collection represents the latest research from leading
scholars whose work has helped to frame our understanding of
Bentham since the publication of H. L. A. Hart's Essays on Bentham.
The authors explore fundamental areas of Bentham's thought,
including the relationship between the rule of law and public
opinion; law and popular prejudices or manipulated tastes;
Bentham's methodology versus Hart's; sovereignty and codification;
and the language of natural rights. Drawing on original manuscripts
and volumes in The Collected Works of Jeremy Bentham, the chapters
combine philosophical and historical approaches and offer new and
more faithful interpretations of Bentham's legal philosophy and its
development. As a coherent whole, the book challenges the dominant
understandings of Bentham among legal philosophers and rescues him
from some famous mischaracterizations.
