'this highly interesting book on "utilitarian biopolitics" offers a double reading: that of Bentham's philosophical brand of liberalism seen through the prism of Foucault's biopolitics, and that of Foucault's own theorization seen in the light of Bentham's utilitarianism.' Revue d'etudes benthamiennes
The works of Foucault and Bentham have been regularly examined in isolation, yet rarely has the relationship between them been discussed. This study traces the full breadth of that relationship within the fields of sexuality, criminology, ethics, economics and governance.
