''Political Thought in England from Locke to Bentham'' by Harold J. Laski is a comprehensive account of the evolution of political ideas in England during the 17th and 18th centuries. The book traces the development of political thought from the time of John Locke, who laid the foundation for modern liberalism, to Jeremy Bentham, who pioneered the utilitarian philosophy.Laski examines the works of major political thinkers such as Hobbes, Hume, Burke, and Paine, and analyzes their contributions to the development of political thought in England. He also explores the impact of social, economic, and cultural changes on political ideas during this period.The book is divided into chapters that focus on specific themes such as the nature of government, the role of religion in politics, and the concept of individual rights. Laski provides a detailed analysis of each theme, drawing on primary sources and secondary literature to present a nuanced and insightful account of the evolution of political thought in England.Overall, ''Political Thought in England from Locke to Bentham'' is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of political ideas and the development of liberalism and utilitarianism in England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
