In short, of all the writers I have mentioned, regarded as political theorists, it is only the eccentric hermit of Queen's Square Place whose name still carries with it an audible demand that we should reckon with his system, and explain to ourselves why and how far we agree or disagree with his opinions. sic (1802), expressions of even hyperbolical admiration were sent to the philosopher from different parts of Europe. A Swiss pastor subscribes himself, rather to Bentham's "To obviate the inconvenience to which a political is exposed in the exercise of its functions. Each rule of this tactics can therefore have no justifying reason, except in the prevention of an evil. It is therefore with a distinct knowledge of these evils that we should proceed in search of remedies. These inconveniences may be arranged under the ten following heads:

Stonewall and Beyond: Lesbian and Gay Culture BACK INDEX NEXT Offences Against One's Self by Jeremy Bentham 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.

Expected to succeed as a lawyer, Jeremy got into Oxford University at the age of 12, gained his MA at 13 and began training as a barrister aged 15. Disillusioned with the chicanery of legal practice he soon retired to Westminster, where, for nearly forty years, (barring a couple spent in Russia) even in his eighties, he churned out ten to twenty manuscripts a day commenting on the laws on proposing new ones. He denounced Blackstone's revered ' Commentaries on the Laws of England ' for its obsession with the unyielding "rule of law" and proposed a circular 'panopticon' design for prisons. And in between all that he came across the phrase "the greatest happiness to the greatest number" in the Italian jurist Beccaria's book 'Crimes and Punishments' and made this 'principle of utility' into both an ethical formula and a rallying-cry.

A FRAGMENT ON GOVERNMENT; BEING An EXAMINATION of whit is delivered, On the Subject of GOVERNMENT in General In the INTRODUCTION to Sir William Blackstone's COMMENTARIES: by Jeremy Bentham WITH A PREFACE, IN WHICH IS GIVEN A CRITIQUE on THE WORK AT LARGE. MONTESQUIEU Espirit: des Lois, L. XXX. Ch. XV. LONDON: Printed for T. PAYNE, at the Mews-Gate; P. EMILY, opposite Southampton-Street in the Strand; and E. Brooks, in Boll-Yard, Temple-Bar. M.DCC.LXXVI. Preface The age we live in is a busy age; in which knowledge is rapidly advancing towards perfection. In the natural world, in particular, every thing teems with discovery and with improvement. The most distant and recondite regions of the earth traversed and explored the all-vivifying and subtle element of the air so recently analyzed and made known to striking evidences, were all others wanting, of this pleasing truth. Correspondent to discovery and improvement in the natural world, is reformation in the moral; if that which seems a common notion be, indeed, a true one, that in the moral world there no longer remains any matter for discovery. Perhaps, however, this may not be the case: perhaps among such observations as would be best calculated to serve as grounds for reformation, are some which, being observations of matters of fact hitherto either incompletely noticed, or not at all would, when produced, appear capable of bearing the name of discoveries: with so little method and precision have the consequences of this fundamental axiom

50. Bentham, Jeremy [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy] Extensive article on the 18th century founder of utilitarianism. http://www.iep.utm.edu/b/bentham.htm

Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy A B C ... Z Jeremy Bentham (1748—1832) Jeremy Bentham was an English philosopher and political radical. He is primarily known today for his moral philosophy , especially his principle of utilitarianism, which evaluates actions based upon their consequences. The relevant consequences, in particular, are the overall happiness created for everyone affected by the action. Influenced by many enlightenment thinkers, especially empiricists such as John Locke and David Hume , Bentham developed an ethical theory grounded in a largely empiricist account of human nature. He famously held a hedonistic account of both motivation and value according to which what is fundamentally valuable and what ultimately motivates us is pleasure and pain. Happiness, according to Bentham, is thus a matter of experiencing pleasure and lack of pain. Although he never practiced law, Bentham did write a great deal of philosophy of law , spending most of his life critiquing the existing law and strongly advocating legal reform. Throughout his work, he critiques various natural accounts of law legal positivism John Stuart Mill , John Austin, and other consequentialists Table of Contents Life Method Human Nature Moral Philosophy ...

Britannica CD Index Articles Dictionary Help Bentham, Jeremy (b. Feb. 15, 1748, Londond. June 6, 1832, London), English philosopher, economist, and theoretical jurist, the earliest and chief expounder of Utilitarianism. Early life and works. Bentham's first book, A Fragment on Government, appeared in 1776. The subtitle, "being an examination of what is delivered, on the subject of government in general, in the introduction to Sir William Blackstone's Commentaries " indicates the nature of the work. Bentham found the "grand and fundamental" fault of the Commentaries to be Blackstone's "antipathy to reform." Bentham's book, written in a clear and concise style different from that of his later works, may be said to mark the beginning of philosophic radicalism . It is also a very good essay on sovereignty. Lord Shelburne Dumont and entitled . This work eventually appeared in English as The Rationale of Reward (1825) and The Rationale of Punishment (1830). In 1785 Bentham started, by way of Italy and Constantinople, on a visit to his brother, Samuel Bentham, an engineer in the Russian armed forces; and it was in Russia that he wrote his Defence of Usury (published 1787). This, his first essay in economics, presented in the form of a series of letters from Russia, shows him as a disciple of the economist Adam Smith but one who argued that Smith did not follow the logic of his own principles. Bentham held that every man was the best judge of his own advantage, that it was desirable from the public point of view that he should seek it without hindrance, and that there was no reason to limit the application of this doctrine in the matter of lending money at interest. His later works on political economy followed the laissez-faire principle, though with modifications. In the "Manual of Political Economy" he gives a list of what the state should and should not do, the second list being much longer than the first.

60. Bentham, Jeremy Bentham, Jeremy Assessment. Bentham was less a philosopher than a critic of law and of judicial and political institutions. Unfortunately, he was not aware of his limitations. http://www.uv.es/EBRIT/micro/micro_63_56_0.html

Britannica CD Index Articles Dictionary Help Bentham, Jeremy Assessment. Bentham was less a philosopher than a critic of law and of judicial and political institutions. Unfortunately, he was not aware of his limitations. He tried to define what he thought were the basic concepts of ethics, but the majority of his definitions are oversimple or ambiguous or both, and his "felicific calculus," a method for calculating amounts of happiness, as even his warmest admirers have admitted, cannot be used. As a moralist and psychologist, Bentham has similarly appeared to be inadequate; his arguments, though sometimes elaborate, rest too often on insufficient and ambiguous premises. His analyses of the concepts that men use to describe and explain human behaviour are too simple. He seems to have believed both that man is completely selfish and that everyone ought to promote the greatest happiness, no matter whose. Not even the formula of which he made so much, "the greatest happiness of the greatest number," possesses a definite meaning. Given all this, it should be noted that the publication since World War II of Bentham's previously unknown manuscripts has done much to enhance his reputation as a philosopher of law. His Victorian editor, Sir John Bowring, cut out from Bentham's work much that was both original and well-argued. The more up-to-date scholarship of such Bentham specialists as Herbert L.A. Hart, J.H. Burns, Frederick Rosen, and Lea Campos-Boralevi has revealed a more rigorous and systematic thinker than the legendary muddled Utilitarian that Bentham appeared to be to earlier generations.
