SUMMARY Bentham's writings for the French Revolution were dominated by the themes of rights, representation, and reform. In 'Nonsense upon Stilts' (hitherto known as 'Anarchical Fallacies'), the most devastating attack on the theory of natural rights ever written, he argued that natural rights provided an unsuitable basis for stable legal and political arrangements. In discussing the nature of representation he produced the earliest utilitarian justification of political equality and representative democracy, even recommending women's suffrage.

Extractions: 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 Life Method Human Nature Moral Philosophy ...

Extractions: page: Bentham argued that the threatened outrage at Sodom did not involve consensual sex, but was rather a mass rape violative of eastern traditions of hospitality. He noted that none of the Old Testament prophets who mentioned Sodom associated the city with homosexuality, nor does Jesus do so in the gospels. Pointedly, he contrasts Paul's vehement denunciation of homosexuality with Jesus' silence on the subject. Bentham's radicalism leads him to interpret the story of David and Jonathan as a homosexual romance akin to that of Aristogiton and Harmodius or Nisus and Euryalus, and more daringly, to argue that the bond between Jesus and John "the beloved disciple" was of the same sort.

Extractions: British gentleman, political activist, legal scholar, social philosopher , linguist, Jeremy Bentham is best known as the founder of British "utilitarianism " or "philosophical radicalism". Born into a wealthy Tory family, Jeremy Bentham was educated at Westminster school and Queen's College, Oxford. He trained as a lawyer and was called to the bar in 1769. His independent wealth permitted him to set himself up as a writer in London. According to his contemporary William Hazlitt, "Bentham has lived for the last forty years in a house in Westminster...like an anchorite in a cell, reducing law to a system, and the mind of man to a machine." In 1768 that Bentham came across a political tract by Joseph Priestley in which the the phrase "the greatest happiness for the greatest number" was invoked. Intrigued, Bentham followed this up by reading Hume , Helvetius and Beccaria and slowly began forming his utilitarian ideas. Bentham's first book (1776) was an attack on Blackstone's immensely popular Commentaries on the Laws of England . For Bentham, Blackstone's obsession with the "rule of law" made a fetish out of ancient laws that were long outdated and prevented the passing of new legislation more appropriate for changing circumstances. Bentham claimed that all laws, ancient and modern, should be evaluated according to the single ethical principle of "utility". A law is good or bad depending upon whether or not it increased general happiness of the population.

http://www.utilitarianism.com/bentham.htm

Extractions: "English utilitarian philosopher and social reformer . He first attained attention as a critic of the leading legal theorist in eighteenth century England, Sir William Blackstone. Bentham's campaign for social and political reforms in all areas, most notably the criminal law, had its theoretical basis in his utilitarianism , expounded in his Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation , a work written in 1780 but not published until 1789. In it 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. To work out the overall tendency of an action, Bentham sketched a felicific ("happiness-making") calculus , which takes into account the intensity, duration, likelihood, extent, etc of pleasures and pains. In Bentham's theory, an action conforming to the principle of utility is right or at least not wrong; it ought to be done, or at least it is not the case that it ought not be done. But Bentham does not use the word ' duty ' here. For Bentham, rights and duties are legal notions, linked with the notions of command and sanction. What we call moral duties and rights would require a moral legislator (a divine being presumably) but theological notions are outside the scope of his theory. To talk of natural rights and duties suggests, as it were, a law without a legislator, and is nonsensical in the same way as talk of a son without a parent. Apart from theoretical considerations, Bentham also condemned the belief in natural rights on the grounds that it inspired violence and bloodshed, as seen in the excesses of the French Revolution.

Extractions: Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... B > Benthamism Jeremy Bentham an English jurist and reformer , born at Houndsditch, London, 15 February, 1748; died in London 6 June, 1832, was of middle-class parentage . After passing through Westminster school he went to Oxford , where he took his Bachelor's degree in 1763 and his Master's degree in 1776. He qualified for the Bar , but soon, disgusted with what he called the "Demon of Chicane", he abandoned the practice of law and devoted himself to the study of philosophers then in favour, chiefly Locke , Hume, Montesquieu Beccaria , and Barrington . Under the influence of these writers, he entered upon what proved to be a lifelong and fruitful career of speculation upon the principles of legislation and political government. Bentham's primary purpose was not the construction of theories or the establishment of abstract principles. He first attacked specific abuses in the English system of penal legislation. In tracing these abuses to their source he was led to investigate the ultimate principles of law ; and subsequently he undertook to construct a complete science of legislation. In like manner, his efforts to lay bare the
