One of the most important nineteenth-century schools of thought, Utilitarianism propounds the view that the value or rightness of an action rests in how well it promotes the welfare of those affected by it, aiming for 'the greatest happiness of the greatest number'. Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832) was the movement's founder, as much a social reformer as a philosopher. His greatest interpreter, John Stuart Mill (1806-73), set out to humanize Bentham's pragmatic Utilitarianism by balancing the claims of reason and the imagination, individuality and social well-being in essays such as 'Bentham', 'Coleridge' and, above all, Utilitarianism. The works by Bentham and Mill collected in this volume show the creation and development of a system of ethics that has had an enduring influence on moral philosophy and legislative policy.

""Swear Not At All"" is a thought-provoking book written by Jeremy Bentham, a prominent British philosopher and social reformer. The book offers a detailed critique of the practice of taking oaths, arguing that it is both unnecessary and harmful. Bentham argues that the act of taking an oath does not add any value to the truthfulness of a statement, and that it is often used to manipulate people's beliefs and actions. He also highlights the negative consequences of the oath, including the potential for perjury, the encouragement of superstition, and the exclusion of non-Christians from certain professions. The book is a powerful argument against the use of oaths in public life and a call for a more rational and honest approach to communication. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of legal and political thought, as well as contemporary debates about truth, trust, and authority.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1817 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
