Another symptom of the same shortcoming appears in the harshness of the judgments passed by Bentham upon other men. Like most reformers of clear narrow mind, he saw certain abuses so vividly and resented them so fiercely that he judged every one who upheld the institutions in which these abuses occurred to be not only stupid and bigoted but also false and corrupt. He disliked judiciary law. Accordingly he asserted that the judges in making law were guilty of a deliberate usurpation of legislative power; a usurpation committed in order to satisfy the greed and ambition of lawyers. Yet it is certain that judiciary law is only one mode of that development of law by experts which takes place in every progressive community. It is also certain that judiciary law would have been much better than it is had judges been more ambitious of legislating and less timidly anxious to cover themselves with the authority of their predecessors. But not official classes only, eminent individuals as well felt the license of Bentham's invective. Dr. Johnson was 'the miserable and misery-propagating ascetic and instrument of despotism.' Burke was a madman, an incendiary, a caster of verbal filth, and possessed by the unqualified thirst for lucre. In some passages of this kind Bentham combines the worst faults of Burke and of Cobbett with a literary impotence to which they were never liable. For Bentham, in his most abusive fits, leaves the reader unmoved. His reckless denunciation of all who differed from him respecting moral and political questions had not the excuse of irritability and suffering which we may allow for Burke, nor the excuse of low birth and chance education which we may allow for Cobbett. It may best be excused by remembering that he had...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bentham, Jeremy. A Fragment on Government. Edited with an Introduction by F.C. Montague. Oxford: The Clarendon Press, 1891. xii, 241 pp. Reprinted 2001 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. ISBN 1-58477-166-6. Cloth. $65. * Bentham's first published work, an essay on sovereignty that criticizes Blackstone's Commentaries and attacks contemporary views on politics and law. This edition includes F.C. Montague's scholarly introduction that shows the significance of the Fragment and includes a biography of Bentham [1748-1832] and a discussion of his role in the history of jurisprudence. "The Fragment on Government is primarily a criticism. If it were nothing more, it would have no interest for later generations, which do not regard Blackstone as an authority upon speculative questions of politics or history, and therefore do not need to have Blackstone's theories corrected or disproved. But in criticizing Blackstone's views, Bentham necessarily expounds his own. As Bentham is one of the few English writers of mark upon the theory of political institutions, and as his doctrine forms a link in the chain of English political philosophy, we still read the Fragment of Government in order to see, not how far Blackstone was wrong, but how far Bentham was right.": Introduction 59.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is one of the most remarkable works in the history of economic thought. First published in 1893, its principal significance rests in its argument that economic theory, however technical or pragmatic, is necessarily formed by and derives its meaning from larger moral and philosophical systems and assumptions. Bonar traces the inexorable presence of this moral and philosophical element in a vast, though highly nuanced, survey of the economic aspect of major thinkers from Plato to Darwin and demonstrates how modern economic thought, in turn, grew out of one or another branch of philosophy. Bonar begins with a consideration of Plato and Aristotle, examining their conceptions of wealth, production and distribution, and civil society. Discussions of the Stoics, Epicurians, and early Christianity explore complications introduced by these bodies of thought. His analysis of the classical and medieval world is followed by an extensive treatment of the concept of natural law, from the Renaissance through the Enlightenment, describing its influence and its relation to ideas of natural rights. The book's later sections concentrate on the dominant modes of ninteenth-cen-tury thought: utilitarianism, idealism, and materialism. Bonar identifies and explores the philosophical topics on which the conduct of technical economic analysis makes assumptions: human nature and human wants, the nature and role of the state, the relation of the individual to society, the nature and origin of property, and the role of ideals in socioeconomic life. He concludes by examining the implications for economics of the theory of evolution arising from the work of Darwin and others. The continuing interest of this volume for economists, philosophers, and sociologists lies in Bonar's contention that at the heart of the relationship of philosophy to economics is the problem of order: the ongoing need to reconcile conflicts between freedom and control, continuity and change, hierarchy and equality. In his reading, the fundamental question to which philosophy and economics are both brought to bear is that of changing the structure of power and opportunity in the social economy. This is, in short, a classic in the history of economics as well as the economic element in intellectual history.
