Appendix to the Nomography
Jeremy Bentham
|
A fair amount of this appendix duplicates material found elsewhere,
as, for example, in the Introduction to the Principles of Morals
and Legislation. What is of interest here, I think, is that
Bentham has extended or modified the analysis of several of the
classifications drawn from his other works. For example, he adds a
fifth sanction, that of sympathy, to list of four
from
Chapter 3 of the IPML, viz., the physical, moral, religious, and
political sanctions. A second example is the expansion of the
``consequences of a mischevious act'' from the primary and secondary
consequences discussed in Chapter
12 of the IPML, to a possible tertiary consquence, and an
analysis of effects of various orders of consequences of an act of public reward.
A Note on the Text
This text was digitized from Volume III of the 1843 Bowring edition of
Bentham's works. The Nomography and its appendix wer published by
Bowring from manuscripts by Bentham dating from 1811--1831. The
appendix appears to come from manuscripts of 1814 (given what Bowring
says in a footnote at the end.)
