Description
Bentham on Democracy, Courts, and Codification
This collection offers a fresh perspective on Jeremy Bentham's constitutional law, drawing on his original manuscripts and writings. It explores key topics such as competency, women's interests, courts, codification, and cosmopolitanism, challenging the common view of Bentham's thought as authoritarian.
By shedding light on Bentham's mature ideas on liberal democracy, this volume provides a comprehensive and detailed account of his theory, making his subtle yet important concepts accessible to readers.
