""Swear Not At All"" is a thought-provoking book written by Jeremy Bentham, a prominent British philosopher and social reformer. The book offers a detailed critique of the practice of taking oaths, arguing that it is both unnecessary and harmful. Bentham argues that the act of taking an oath does not add any value to the truthfulness of a statement, and that it is often used to manipulate people's beliefs and actions. He also highlights the negative consequences of the oath, including the potential for perjury, the encouragement of superstition, and the exclusion of non-Christians from certain professions. The book is a powerful argument against the use of oaths in public life and a call for a more rational and honest approach to communication. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of legal and political thought, as well as contemporary debates about truth, trust, and authority.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1817 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
