Description

Explore the profound connection between two of history's most influential thinkers in Utilitarian Biopolitics: Bentham, Foucault and Modern Power. While the works of Jeremy Bentham and Michel Foucault are often studied separately, this Routledge publication examines their relationship in detail. This study provides a deep look at how their theories connect across several critical areas including sexuality, criminology, ethics, economics, and governance. This book offers a unique double reading. It examines Bentham's philosophical brand of liberalism through the lens of Foucault's biopolitics, while also viewing Foucault's own theories in the light of Bentham's utilitarianism. For students and scholars of political philosophy and social sciences, this text provides a necessary bridge between these two intellectual traditions. It is an essential resource for anyone studying the development of modern power structures and the evolution of political thought.
