Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Pannomial Fragments is a collection of legal writings by the renowned philosopher and social reformer Jeremy Bentham. The book contains a series of fragments that were originally intended to form part of Bentham's monumental work on legal theory, the Panopticon. The fragments cover a wide range of legal topics, including criminal law, civil law, evidence, and procedure. Bentham's writing is characterized by his commitment to rationality and his belief in the importance of empirical observation and analysis in the development of legal theory. The book provides a fascinating insight into the mind of one of the most influential legal thinkers of the modern era, and is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of legal thought or the philosophy of law.For justification of the legislative arrangements necessary to afford security against maleficent acts affecting the person, what it is necessary to show is, that by them pain will not be produced in such quantity as will cause it to outweigh the pleasure that would have been produced by the maleficent acts so prevented.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
