Book Synopsis Utility and Democracy by : Philip Schofield
Book excerpt: In this historical account of the political thought of Jeremy Bentham, we see how his insights in the fields of logic and language led to the first defence of democracy from a utilitarian perspective, and to the creation of the philosophic radicals, dedicated to political, legal, ecclesiastical, and social reform.
