Beccaria, On Crimes and Punishments and Other Writings

This book shows how Beccaria wove together the various political languages of the Enlightenment into a novel synthesis and argues that his political philosophy, often regarded as no more than a precursor of Bentham’s, combines republican, contractarian, romantic and liberal as well as utilitarian themes. The result is a complex theory of punishment that derives from a sophisticated analysis of the role of the state and the nature of human motivation in a commercial society.
