The political realism of Jeremy Bentham.James Vitali - 2023 - European Journal of Political Theory 22 (2):260-280.details Jeremy Bentham is usually seen as an anti-realist political thinker, or a proponent of what Bernard Williams has termed ‘political moralism’. This article questions that prevalent view and suggests instead that there are good grounds for considering Bentham a political realist. Bentham’s political thought has considerable commonalities with that of the sociologist and political realist Max Weber: both agree that politics is a unique domain of human activity defined by its association with power; that consequently, ethical conduct is unavoidably inflected (...)

Bentham on Peace and War.Stephen Conway - 1989 - Utilitas 1 (1):82.details One of the most neglected aspects of Bentham's thought is his opposition to war. His views on this subject have been sketched out in a number of studies, but they have never been examined in any detail.

Whereas a representative was suggestive of too great a degree of governmental independence from the people and a delegate implied an excessive (...) Download Export citation Bookmark
The Background to Bentham on Evidence: A. D. E. Lewis.A. D. E. Lewis - 1990 - Utilitas* 2 (2):195-219.details The path of those who would approach the study of Bentham's writings on Evidence has been considerably smoothed by the recent publication of William Twining's work on the evidence theories of Bentham and Wigmore. The material on evidence is now being tackled by the Bentham Project. It presents no easy task. The central core, The Rationale of Judicial Evidence, edited and published by John Stuart Mill in 1827, exists only in the printed version, the MSS from which Mill worked having (...)
