Klappentext zu „On the Liberty of the Press, and Public Discussion, and other Legal and Political Writings for Spain and Portugal “
The essays contained in the present volume represent Bentham's attempt to influence the direction of political and constitutional change taking place in Spain and Portugal in the early 1820s. At the same time as commenting on Spanish and Portuguese questions, Bentham outlined important aspects of his own legal and constitutional theories, defended measures of democratic reform, and offered a vigorous defence of free speech and communication. The volume complements Colonies, Commerce, and Constitutional Law, in which Bentham commented on the disastrous effects on Spain of her attempts to retain her overseas possessions.

Autoren-Porträt von Jeremy Bentham
Jeremy Bentham (1748 - 1832) gilt als Begründer des klassischen Utilitarismus, Sozialreformer und Vordenker des modernen Wohlfahrtsstaats. Seiner Zeit weit voraus forderte er allgemeine Wahlen, das Frauenstimmrecht, die Abschaffung der Todesstrafe, Tierrechte, die Legalisierung der Homosexualität und die Pressefreiheit. Der Antimonarchist Bentham ist aber auch bekannt für seine scharfe Kritik an der französischen Menschenrechtserklärung, seinen radikalen Atheismus, sein Eintreten für Wucherzinsen und seine Argumente für den legitimen Einsatz der Folter.
