摘要

Jeremy Bentham's An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation is generally considered to be written in simple, clear English. Even though it is dry and dull at points, it is readable and easily understood. Although certain sentences are long and convoluted, and at least one chapter is far too long, even Bentham's critics focus their attention on possible inconsistencies, not on lack of clarity. They understand what Bentham is saying even if they do not agree with it.In this work The Principles of Morals and Legislation is shown to be primarily an introduction to a penal code. Evidence supporting this view is drawn from the entire work--from the preface to the last chapter. Even the calculus chapter will be shown to have as its intellectual foundation a work on punishment. The analysis of actions, motives, and intentions is included in The Principles of Morals and Legislation so that the legislator may identify a mischievous act, i.e., one which calls for punishment. Having identified such an act, Bentham then discusses punishment, and a necessary condition for punishment--an offense.Supporting all this discussion of legislation and punishment is Bentham's basic assumption: the principle of utility is the only adequate guide for human action. This assumption directs Bentham's entire book. It could more appropriately have been named: An Introduction to a Penal Code from a Utilitarian perspective.This dissertation serves a corrective function. Bentham's Principles of Morals and Legislation was originally written as an introduction to a penal code. When this is kept in view, the book is shown to have a unity, coherence, and clarity of purpose, which has not been generally acknowledged.This work agrees that An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation is fairly easy to understand. It contains no surprises, nor intricate logical maneuverings. However, this work will claim that Bentham's Principles of Morals and Legislation has suffered from interpreters with tunnel vision. Far too often, the focus on The Principles of Morals and Legislation has been only on the hedonistic calculus (Chapter IV) and portions of Chapter I. These chapters are evaluated for their ethical import, shown to be lacking, and then Bentham is dismissed as a shallow thinker.
机译：杰里米·边沁（Jeremy Bentham）的《道德与立法原理概论》通常被认为是用简单，清晰的英语撰写的。即使它有些干燥且变钝，它还是可读且易于理解的。尽管某些句子冗长而令人费解，并且至少一章太长了，但连本（Bentham）的批评家也将注意力集中在可能出现的矛盾上，而不是缺乏清晰度。即使他们不同意他们的理解，他们也能理解边沁的话。在本著作中，《道德与立法原则》被证明主要是对刑法的介绍。从前言到最后一章，都是从整个工作中得到支持这一观点的证据。即使是微积分一章，也将显示出其有关惩罚的知识基础。对行为，动机和意图的分析包含在《道德与立法原则》中，以便立法者可以确定一种不道德的行为，即要求惩罚的行为。边沁（Bentham）确定了此类行为之后，便讨论了惩罚以及惩罚的必要条件-犯罪。所有有关立法和惩罚的讨论都是边沁（Bentham）的基本假设：效用原则是人类行动的唯一适当指南。这个假设指导边沁的整本书。它可能更恰当地被命名为：《功利主义视角下的刑法入门》。本论文具有纠正功能。边沁（Bentham）的《道德与立法原则》最初是作为对刑法典的介绍而编写的。纵观这一点，这本书显示出具有统一性，连贯性和目的明确性，这是普遍公认的。这项工作同意《道德与立法原理入门》相当容易理解。它不包含任何惊奇，也不包含复杂的逻辑操作。但是，这项工作将声称边沁的道德和立法原则受到具有远见卓识的口译人员的困扰。太多时候，对道德和立法原则的关注只集中在享乐主义演算（第四章）和第一章的某些部分。这些章因其伦理意义而被评估，被证明是缺乏的，然后边沁被驳回。浅薄的思想家。
