Description
The Panopticon Writings by Jeremy Bentham Jeremy Bentham's vision for a model prison, known as the Panopticon, has sparked intense philosophical debate. For nearly 20 years, Bentham devoted himself to this project, which ultimately came to fruition in his writings. The Panopticon is more than just a design for a prison; it represents a theoretical framework that can have profound effects on our understanding of power and its construction. Bentham's work on the Panopticon has had a lasting impact on modern thought, particularly in the theory of power. His ideas are often cited but rarely read. This edition brings together Bentham's complete "Panopticon Letters", along with selections from "Panopticon Postscript I" and "Fragment on Ontology". A comprehensive introduction by Miran Bozovic provides context for understanding the significance of the Panopticon in contemporary theoretical debate. This collection offers a unique insight into Bentham's philosophical thought, exploring the relationship between power, architecture, and the human experience.
