    Extractions: Search Site Search Card Catalog Search a Book Biography of British economist Jeremy Bentham is most often associated with his theory of utilitarianism. Bentham's views ran counter to Adam Smith's vision of "natural rights." He believed in utilitarianism, or the idea that all social actions should be evaluated by the axiom "It is the greatest happiness of the greatest number that is the measure of right and wrong." Unlike Smith, Bentham believed that there were no natural rights to be interfered with. Trained in law, Bentham never practiced, choosing instead to focus on judicial and legal reform. His reform plans went beyond rewriting legislative acts to include detailed administrative plans to implement his proposals. In his plan for prisons, workhouses, and other institutions, Bentham devised compensation schemes, building designs, worker timetables, and even new accounting systems. A guiding principle of Bentham's schemes was that incentives should be designed "to make it each man's interest to observe on every occasion that conduct which it is his duty to observe." Interestingly, Bentham's thinking led him to the conclusion, one he shared with Smith, that professors should not be salaried. In his early years Bentham professed a free-market approach . He argued, for example, that interest rates should be free from government control. (See

    Extractions: Offences Against One's Self Edited by Louis Crompton First published in the 1978 summer and fall issues of Journal of Homosexuality, v.3:4(1978), p.389-405; continued in v.4:1(1978) Editor's Abstract: This is the first publication of Jeremy Bentham's essay on "Paederasty," written about 1785. The essay which runs to over 60 manuscript pages, is the first known argument for homosexual law reform in England. Bentham advocates the decriminalization of' sodomy, which in his day was punished by hanging. He argues that homosexual acts do not "weaken" men, or threaten population or marriage, and documents their prevalence in ancient Greece and Rome. Bentham opposes punishment on utilitarian grounds and attacks ascetic sexual morality. In the preceding article (Journal of Homosexuality, 3(4), 1978, p. 383-387) the editor's introduction discussed the essay in the light of 18th-century legal opinion and quoted Bentham's manuscript notes that reveal his anxieties about expressing his views.

    Extractions: Jeremy Bentham, 1748-1832 The English Utilitarian and leader of the Philosophical Radicals, Jeremy Bentham, was born in Houndsditch, in London. He entered in Queen's College, Oxford, at the age of twelve, graduate in 1763, and immediately entered Lincoln's Inn to study law, his father's profession. He was called to the bar in 1767 but never practiced law. Instead, he decided to work out a system of jurisprudence, and to codify and reform both civil and penal law. His motive was a profound dissatisfaction both with what he witnessed in the courts as a student, and with its theoretical justification by such expositors as Blackstone. The theory did not seem to Bentham either coherent in itself or in accordance with the practice; the practice was cruel, costly, and wrapped in unnecessary obscurity. Bentham's life work was the advocacy of a clear, coherent, humane, and simplified legal system. With his life's work before him, Bentham wrote many thousands of pages. Before finishing one work, he would start another one; and many were left unfinished, and those he did finish he often did not bother to publish; some were made known to the world only through the French translations of his Swiss follower, Etienne Dumont. More interested in the theory of law, Bentham published

    Extractions: Jeremy Bentham is known to have written under a couple of pseudonyms during his career. Some letters submitted to the Gazeteer under the name "Irenaeus", for example, and other letters submitted to the Public Advertiser were signed with "Anti-Machiavel." Bentham also used the name "Gamaliel Smith, Esq." in 1823 for the work Not Paul, but Jesus Jeremy Bentham was an English philosopher with very radical views on the nature of political and social organizations. Bentham first developed the philosophy of modern utilitarianism, a system of ethics based upon the universal hedonistic premise that the good can be judged based upon whatever produces the greatest happiness for the largest number of people. Bentham started with the premise that "Nature has placed mankind under the governance of two sovereign masters, pain and pleasure." From this he inferred that the morality of actions should be determined by whether they increased pleasure or increased pain. It should be noted that at no point does Bentham describe such actions as "duties." For Bentham, rights and duties are legal constructions, thus the existence of a moral duty would require the existence of a moral lawgiver and he postulated no such entity in his moral theories.

Legislation and Administration The English parish with its squire, its parson, its lawyer and its labouring population was a miniature of the British Constitution in general. The squire's eldest son could succeed to his position; a second son might become a general or an admiral; a third would take the family living; a fourth, perhaps, seek his fortune at the bar. This implies a conception of other political conditions which curiously illustrate some contemporary conceptions. IV. THE ARMY AND NAVY V. THE CHURCH I turn, however, to the profession which was more directly connected with the intellectual development of the country. The nature of the church establishment gives the most obvious illustration of the connection between the intellectual position on the one hand and the social and political order on the other, though I do not presume to decide how far either should be regarded as effect and the other as cause.

He first attained attention as a critic of the leading legal theorist in eighteenth century England , Sir William Blackstone. His ideas formed the foundation for the Napoleonic code, the type of law used by most countriesbut for the Britain and colonies. Bentham campaigned for social and political reforms in all areas, most notably the criminal law. He formulated the principle of utility, which approves of an action in so far as an action has an overall tendency to promote the greatest amount of happiness. Happiness is identified with pleasure and the absence of pain. Intellectual pleasures and inner tranquility are types of pleasure.

    Extractions: Victorian Web Home Religion Philosophy Dictionary of National Biography: from the earliest times to 1900 (London, Oxford University Press, 1949). Added by Marjie Bloy , Ph. D. Senior Research Fellow, National University of Singapore. Jeremy Bentham, a writer on jurisprudence, was born in Red Lion Street, Houndsditch, on 15 February 1747-8. His great grandfather was a prosperous pawnbroker in the city of London, and there his grandfather and father practised as attorneys. His mother, Alicia Grove, was the daughter of a shopkeeper at Andover. A grand uncle on the mother's side, named Woodward, was the publisher of Tindal's Christianity as old as the Creation Edinburgh Review History of England Theory of the Earth , Cave's Lives of the Apostles , Stow's Chronicles , Rapin's History Gil Blas , Plutarch's Lives , Mandeville's Fable of the Bees , and Clarissa Harlowe . In 1755 he was sent to Westminster School. Sensitive, delicate, of dwarfish stature, and with no aptitude or liking for boys' games, he was out of place at a public school. He made, however, progress in Greek and Latin, and acquired a reputation for proficiency in Latin verse. Church of Englandism Bentham assisted his friend John Lind, a clergyman who was London agent for the king of Poland, in preparing a work on the colonies; but his first published compositions were two letters to the

    Extractions: Search this site: The British Utilitarians It is helpful to see Bentham's moral philosophy in the context of his political philosophy, his attempt to find a rational approach to law and legislative action. He argued against "natural law" theory and thought that the classical theories of Plato and Aristotle as well as notions such as Kant's Categorical Imperative were too outdated, confusing and/or controversial to be of much help with society's ills and a program of social reform. He adopted what he took to be a simple and 'scientific' approach to the problems of law and morality and grounded his approach in the "Principle of Utility."

    Extractions: The Mummy's Curse Bentham was a British political reformer. In an age when the death penalty was imposed for thefts as small as 5 shillings (maybe $20 today), or for unknowingly passing counterfeit money, for which the humane alternative was "transportation" to penal colonies like Georgia or, after the American Revolution, Australia, Bentham proposed an ideal kind of prison, the "panoptikon" ("all seeing"), where prisoners would be under constant supervision. This is more or less what modern prisons are like. At the same time, Bentham had unusual ideas in other areas. Certainly the most unusual was what he wanted done with his body. Bentham thought that his body should be preserved and kept on display. This would be his "Auto-Icon." He believed this is what might be done with all famous men. His body, indeed, was preserved and is kept at the University College of London (UCL) in a wooden cabinet, modestly and precisely labelled "Jeremy Bentham." The body as such is not visible, since it is clothed and the head has been removed and replaced with a wax one. Over the years a great deal of mythology has arisen about the Auto-Icon. The first story I ever heard about it was that Bentham contributed money to the University and
