The Collected Works of Jeremy Bentham: Securities against Misrule and Other Constitutional Writings for Tripoli and Greece: The Collected Works of Jeremy Bentham

Autor Jeremy Bentham Editat de Philip Schofield F. Rosen
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 noi 1990
The writings collected in this volume make an important addition to The Collected Works of Jeremy Bentham. They lend credence to Bentham's claim that his ideas were appropriate `for the use of all nations and all governments professing liberal opinions'. The essays, dating mainly from late 1822 and early 1823, are based exclusively on manuscripts, many of which have not been previously published.Turning his attention towards the Mediterranean basin, Bentham here attempts to legislate for one Islamic state, and offers advice to another in the process of throwing off Islamic rule. The Writings for Tripoli include the famous `Securities against Misrule', in which Bentham draws up a constitutional charter with an accompanying explanation of its provisions. He also discusses the social, political, and religious institutions of the country, and proposes a scheme for the introduction of constitutional reform both there and in the other Barbary states. The Writings for Greece include a rare commentary on the first Greek constitution of 1822, and advice and warnings to the Greek legislators against the temptation of `sinister appetites'. The main theme in both groups of writings is the efficacy of representative institutions and the publicity of official actions in preventing the abuse of government power.

Recenzii

The Volume provides, in a reliable form, a body of writings that is well worth the study of anybody who wants to understand Bentham's approach to constitutions and constitution-making.
In this interesting and accessible addition to the new Collected Works of Jeremy Bentham, Philip Schofield brings together further important essays on constitutional theory ... The editorial standards of this volume are exemplary and Schofield is to be congratulated. It maintains the high standards one has come to expect of the Bentham edition. This volume is important not only for Bentham scholars but for all those interested in the significance of constitutional ideas for political theory.
