Focusing on "natural religion," Jeremy Bentham critiques the idea that human reason alone can uncover God's will through nature. Writing under the pseudonym "Philip Beauchamp" due to its controversial nature, this 1822 treatise reflects Bentham's skepticism towards religion, aligning with his utilitarian philosophy that equates human happiness with a moral calculus of pleasure and pain. His analysis ultimately concludes that natural religion has a negative impact on human happiness, challenging the validity of faith-based claims.

This is a hands-on guide to TCP/IP networking that includes source codes to a simple TCP/IP stack - a lean version that is easier to present and efficient enough to use in embedded applications. Learn about, and experiment with, the simpler aspects of Internetworking, before tackling the TCP protocol itself. The book covers: key networking and multimedia technologies; codes for fully-debugged protocol software; extending professionally-written software; utilities for simulating and testing networks; and tools and utilities for future network development. This book aims to meet the challenge of implementing dynamic Web pages on small-scale embedded systems, providing full C source codes for the PC hardware platform, and a PIC microcontroller. Software provided on the accompanying CD-ROM is compatible with several popular C compilers to simplify desktop development.

Jeremy Bentham was an English jurist, philosopher, and legal and social reformer. He became a leading theorist in Anglo-American philosophy of law, and a political radical whose ideas influenced the development of welfarism. He is best known for his advocacy of utilitarianism and animal rights, and the idea of the panopticon. His position included arguments in favor of individual and economic freedom, usury, the separation of church and state, freedom of expression, equal rights for women, the right to divorce, and the decriminalizing of homosexual acts. He also argued for the abolition of slavery, physical punishment (including that of children) and the death penalty. Although strongly in favor of the extension of individual legal rights, he opposed the idea of natural law and natural rights, calling them "nonsense upon stilts." Bentham's ambition in life was to create a "Pannomion", a complete utilitarian code of law. Bentham not only proposed many legal and social reforms, but also expounded an underlying moral principle on which they should be based.

This volume includes the complete texts of two of John Stuart Mill's most important works, Utilitarianism and On Liberty, and selections from his other writings, including the complete text of his Remarks on Bentham's Philosophy. The selection from Mill's A System of Logic is of special relevance to the debate between those who read Mill as an Act-Utilitarian and those who interpret him as a Rule-Utilitarian.Also included are selections from the writings of Jeremy Bentham, founder of modern Utilitarianism and mentor (together with James Mill) of John Stuart Mill. Bentham's Principles of Morals and Legislation had important effects on political and legal reform in his own time and continues to provide insights for political theorists and philosophers of law. Seven chapters of Bentham's Principles are here in their entirety, together with a number of shorter selections, including one in which Bentham repudiates the slogan often used to characterize his philosophy: The Greatest Happiness of the Greatest Number.John Troyer's Introduction presents the central themes and arguments of Bentham and Mill and assesses their relevance to current discussions of Utilitarianism. The volume also provides indexes, a glossary, and notes.

This volume makes available to a student readership one of the central texts in the utilitarian tradition, in the authoritative 1977 edition prepared by Professors Burns and Hart as part of Bentham's Collected works.
