The Collected Works of Jeremy Bentham , 36 vols., ed. J. Burns (1968-in progress). Career Bentham is remembered both as a pioneer of social science and as a tireless advocate of administarative, legal and praliamentary reform. He found in the principle of utility, and in particular in his notorious `felicific calculus', an exact standard by which questions of reform could be settled. The reforms he pressed for were directed towards his four ends of good government: subsistence, abundance, security and equality. He interpreted the economics of Adam Smith in the light of the search for abundance and advocated a state which provided guaranteed employment, minimum wages and a variety of social benefits. Much of his influence on ideas and legistation was through a small but enthusiastic circle of pupils and disciples, amongst whom were many economists, including Ricardo , and James and John Stuart Mill . Only a small portion of his vast literary output was publisched in his own lifetime, and a complete edition of his works projected in 36 volumes is still in preparation. Even his strictly economic writings, a small part of the whole, contain many remarkable contributions that have only come to be properly apprecitated in recent times.

Other Free Encyclopedias Law Library - American Law and Legal Information American Law Encyclopedia Vol 2 Jeremy Bentham - Further Readings VERY LAW IS AN INFRACTION OF LIBERTY EREMY B ENTHAM Described as a philosopher, jurist, and reformer, Jeremy Bentham is possibly best known as one of the leading proponents of UTILITARIANISM . Although he was a devoted scholar who spent much of his life writing about legal reform, he published little. Regardless, Bentham had a profound effect on the politics of his day, influenced many of his contemporaries (including eminent British philosopher JOHN STUART MILL ), and introduced a number of terms and definitions, which are still used today in the study of philosophy, economics, and politics. Bentham was born February 15, 1748, in Houndsditch, near London, into a family of attorneys. He was educated at Oxford and admitted to the bar, but decided not to follow in the footsteps of his father and grandfather. Instead of practicing law, Bentham chose to pursue a career in legal, political, and social reform, applying principles of ethical philosophy to these endeavors. In 1789, Bentham gained public attention with the publication of his

His father, who was a wealthy man and possessed at any rate a smattering of Greek, Latin and French, was thought to have demeaned himself by marrying the daughter of an Andover tradesman, who afterwards retired to a country house near Reading, where young Jeremy spent many happy days. The boy's talents justified the ambitious hopes which his parents entertained of his future. When three years old he read eagerly such works as Rapin's History and began the study of Latin. A year or two later he learned to play the violin and to speak French. At Westminster school he obtained a reputation for Greek and Latin verse writing; and he was only thirteen when he was matriculated at Queens College, Oxford, where his most important acquisition seems to have been a thorough acquaintance with Sanderson's logic. He became a B.A. in 1763, and in the same year entered at Lincoln's Inn, and took his seat as a student in the queen's bench, where he listened with rapture to the judgments of Lord Mansfield. He managed also to hear Blackstone's lectures at Oxford, but says that he immediately detected the fallacies which underlay the rounded periods of the future judge.

Bentham was the leader of the so-called utilitarian school of ethics that held that the aim of legislation should be the "greatest happiness of the greatest number." He was the most notable law reformer the English-speaking world has ever produced; in this role, his influence extended not only to Britain and the United States but also to France, Spain, and Latin America. Several of the emerging republics of South and Central America consulted him in drawing up their constitutions and law codes. In the Hispanic world, he was hailed as "el legislador del mundo."

His vast achievements in philosophy, ethics, theories of penology, legislation and other areas, as well as his quirky personality and writing style, make him an attractive but difficult person to grasp. In addition, he left more than 80,000 manuscript pages of his work to the University of London, most of which is now in the process of being edited. His importance for jurisprudence is in his challenge to Blackstone and his emphasis on the importance of statutory law (hence he is one of the first "positivists") to the derogation of the common law. We will be reading the first 23 pages of A Fragment on Government (1776), from the Internet edition, along with the corresponding notes begininng on page 49, for the week.

Z Jeremy Bentham Philosopher Jeremy Bentham was a founder of Utilitarianism simply put, the philosophy that a moral act is one which produces the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people. He outlined this theory in his 1789 work, Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation. Bentham's outlook made him a vocal critic of many legal and political institutions, and he was considered quite radical for his day. (He was particularly critical of Sir William Blackstone, author of Blackstone's Commentaries and the most famous English legal mind of that era.) Bentham also is known for an odd request in his will: he ordered that his remains be preserved and kept in a box, to be displayed on occasion to friends and followers. This "auto-icon," duly dressed in Bentham's own clothes, is kept in a special cabinet at University College London to this day. Extra credit : Bentham strongly influenced the philosopher John Stuart Mill , who wrote the 1861 book Utilitarianism ... Bentham entered Queen's College, Oxford at age 12 and graduated in 1764.
