Synopsis
This book delves into the fundamental principles that guide human behavior and shape society. The author, writing in the late 18th century, grapples with the question of what constitutes a good or bad action, and ultimately argues that the greatest good for the greatest number of people should be the ultimate goal. This exploration draws upon the author's own insights, informed by an understanding of the philosophies of his time, while also recognizing the long-held traditions of morality and governance. Through a detailed analysis of pleasure, pain, and human motivation, the author lays bare the complex factors that influence how we make decisions. The book's examination of the relationship between these fundamental principles and the creation of laws is a crucial step in understanding the proper role of government in shaping human behavior and promoting the general welfare. Ultimately, this groundbreaking work offers a powerful framework for understanding how to navigate the complexities of morality and legislation.
