Jeremy Bentham

(1748 - 1832)

benth

 He is best known as the founder of Utilitarianism, which
 he saw as the underlying moral principle on which his legal
 and social reforms should be based. Although his influence
 during his life was perhaps minor, his impact was greater
 in later years as his ideas were carried on by followers
 such as John Stuart Mill, Robert Owen and John Austin.
