- W1520161103 abstract "Jeremy Bentham began his writing career in 1776, and although much of his work remained unpublished until recently, his influence among social reformers and social engineers was enormous. The paradigm within which social engineering projects were established and justified was that laws derived their unique status from their belonging to the category of Law, and that the Law of a particular state obtained its obligatory power from its origin in the will of the sovereign, itself unbound by law. Two consequences followed, one necessary, one merely predictable. The only opposition to the sovereign will was opinion and discussion, neither of which could be guaranteed apart from the sovereign will, since natural rights were ‘nonsense on stilts’. Second, the major focus of legal pedagogy was confirmed in its preoccupations with forms and techniques. The human and the humane were simply secondary and precarious dependencies on this ‘barbarous, ill-informed jurisprudence’. Considering the laborious transformation of ‘England’ from geographical expression to cultural artefact, I consider the cultural underpinnings that common law and the ‘matchless constitution’ depended upon, their plasticity and openness to compromise and negotiation, and argue, not for a return to a lost world, but to a lost vision and way of thinking, one obscured and, indeed, perverted, by what Leavis once called ‘technologico-Benthamism’." @default.
