Political Thought in England from Locke to Bentham is a comprehensive analysis of the development of political ideas and theories in England during the period between the late 17th century and the early 19th century. The book is written by Harold J. Laski, a prominent political scientist and philosopher of the 20th century. The book explores the evolution of political thought during the Enlightenment era, examining the ideas of influential thinkers such as John Locke, David Hume, Adam Smith, and Jeremy Bentham. It also delves into the political and social context of the time, including the Glorious Revolution, the American Revolution, and the French Revolution, and how these events shaped political thought in England. Laski provides a detailed analysis of the key concepts and theories that emerged during this period, including individualism, liberalism, utilitarianism, and the social contract. He also explores the debates and controversies that arose around these ideas, such as the tension between individual freedom and social responsibility, and the role of government in promoting the public good. Overall, Political Thought in England from Locke to Bentham is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of political thought and the development of modern political ideologies. Laski's thorough analysis and engaging writing style make it accessible to both scholars and general readers alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
