Unsinn auf Stelzen - Schriften zur Französischen Revolution. Herausgegeben von Peter Niesen

For the first time in the German language, this edition of the writings of Jeremy Bentham compiles the essays in which he presents a sharply critical view of the French Revolution's Declaration of Human and Citizens Rights, discusses questions of political equality and constitutional organization, expresses his opposition to French colonialism, and shows himself as a constructive critic of natural law.
