Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book introduces the principles of how society can enact morality. The author, a philosopher and legal scholar, argues that the only legitimate basis for any law is its ability to augment happiness and prevent or reduce harm. He then uses this principle to analyze the purposes of punishment and the conditions under which it should be applied. Beginning with a discussion of the foundation of morality and law, the author proceeds to develop a system for determining the appropriate severity of punishments for different crimes. The book concludes with a discussion of the practical implications of this system and its potential to improve the justice system. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
