Jeremy Bentham's Panopticon: Postscript explores the principles and implications of his panopticon design, a circular prison where all inmates are visible to a single watchman without knowing when they are being watched. This groundbreaking work delves into the psychological and social effects of constant surveillance, examining how it can be used to maintain order and control behavior. Bentham's concept extends beyond prison walls, offering insights into the dynamics of power and observation in various social settings.
