Jeremy Bentham's "Panopticon: Postscript" explores the principles and implications of his panopticon design, a circular prison where all inmates are visible to a single watchman without knowing when they are being watched. This groundbreaking work delves into the psychological and social effects of constant surveillance, examining how it can be used to maintain order and control behavior. Bentham's concept extends beyond prison walls, offering insights into the dynamics of power and observation in various social settings.
A seminal text in the fields of philosophy, law, and social science, "Panopticon" raises fundamental questions about privacy, authority, and the nature of human interaction in a world increasingly shaped by observation. This edition provides essential context for understanding the historical and theoretical significance of Bentham's influential ideas.
