The English Utilitarians by Leslie Stephen Volume One Jeremy Bentham PREFACE This book is a sequel to my History of English Thought in the Eighteenth Century. The title which I then ventured to use was more comprehensive than the work itself deserved. I felt my inability to write a continuation which should at all correspond to a similar title for the nineteenth century. I thought, however, that by writing an account of the compact and energetic school of English Utilitarians I could thrown some light both upon them and their contemporaries. I had the advantage for this purpose of having been myself a disciple of the school during its last period. Many accidents have delayed my completion of the task; and delayed also its publication after it was written. Two books have been published since that time, which partly cover the same ground; and I must be content with referring my readers to them for further information. They are The English Radicals, by Mr C.B. Roylance Kent; and English Political Philosophy from Hobbes to Maine, by Professor Graham. INTRODUCTORY NOTES: 1. Table Talk, 3 July 1830.

The Rationale of Reward Jeremy Bentham Unexpected tho' this might be, it is in this text that one will find the notorious passage about push-pin and poetry that is (charitably) misquoted by John Stuart Mill in his essay on Bentham. Mill quotes Bentham to the effect that ``quantity of pleasure being equal, push-pin is as good as poetry''-what Bentham wrote is ``Prejudice apart, the game of push-pin is of equal value with the arts and sciences of music and poetry.'' Everyone can play the game, but only a few relish music and poetry, Bentham observes. Like Plato in the Republic, Bentham says here that poets are deceivers and falsifiers. The pleasures they provide may have negative consequences, but the pleasures of the game, thinks Bentham, are innocent. Whatever might be the merits of Bentham's argument about poetry, here is one's chance to read what Bentham actually said (as opposed to what Mill said he said), along with his polemic against the arbiters of ``good taste'' as the heartless destroyers of innocent pleasures, and some sharp remarks about the superiority of the games of children over the ``games of princes''. That matter aside, there is, it should be said, a serious issue here: what's the use of good taste?

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.

Jeremy's Labyrinth: A Bentham Hypertext These web pages were begun in honor of the 250th anniversary of the birth of the philosopher, legal theorist and reformer, and political radical Jeremy Bentham (born 15 February, 1748). We present here an hyper-text made up out of portions of Bentham's work, together with lectures, commentary, notes, essays, on Bentham. At present, what is here is the Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation The Rationale of Reward The Rationale of Punishment , and other texts, and some lectures about Bentham-that are linked into the IPML-by Stephen Darwall. The title of this section of the Classical Utilitarianism Web Site comes from this passage by Bentham in a manuscript in the University College, London, collection: I saw crimes of the most pernicious nature passing unheeded by the law: acts of no importance put in point of punishment upon a level with the most baneful crimes: punishments inflicted without measure and without choice: satisfaction denied for the most crying injuries: the doors of justice barred against a great majority of the people by the pressure of wanton impositions and unnecessary expense: false conclusions ensured in questions of fact by hasty and inconsistent rules of evidence: the business of hours spun out into years: impunity extended to acknowledged guilt and compensation snatched out of the hands of injured innocence: the measure of decision in many cases unformed: in others locked up and made the object of a monopoly: the various rights and duties of the various classes of mankind jumbled together into one immense and unsorted heap: men ruined for not knowing what they are neither enabled nor permitted ever to learn: and the whole fabric of jurisprudence a

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.

Jeremy Bentham Jeremy Bentham was born at Houndsditch on 15 February 1748 and died on 6 June 1832. He began studying Latin at the age of four and at seven was sent to Westminster School. He entered Queen’s College, Oxford in 1760 (BA, 1764; MA, 1767). He was called to the Bar in 1769 but became radically dissatisfied with the state of English law and, instead of practising, sought to establish a better system. He achieved an important place in the history of utilitarianism, both through his attempts to articulate and apply the prin-ciple of ‘the greatest happiness of the greatest number’ and through his influence on the nineteenth-century utilitarians, most notably James Mill and his son John Stuart Mill. Bentham’s vision of a reformed legal system and constitutional code was a significant influence in the nineteenth century. Bentham was not, however, particularly well known in the eighteenth century, partly because, although a prolific writer, he found it difficult to put his work into a form suitable for publication. Indeed he owed the international reputation he built up in his lifetime more to works published by collaborators than what he himself saw through the press. The most important of these collaborators was the Swiss Etienne Dumont, who produced well-written French texts based on Bentham’s manuscripts, such as the Traités de législation civile et pénale , published in Paris in 1802. This work was translated into Russian and Spanish and had a great impact in Latin America. It was also published in German and Polish and eventually in English under the title

FICHA Nacionalidad: Gran Bretaña Houndsditch 15-2-1748 - Londres 6-7-1832 Miembro de una prestigiosa familia de juristas, desarrolló sus estudios en la universidad de Oxford y se dedicó a la abogacía . La irracionalidad de la legislación inglesa le llevó a profundizar en ella, interesándose por los principios del racionalismo de la Ilustración y las teorías de Rousseau . Consideró que el fin de toda actividad moral y de toda organización social debía ser "la mayor felicidad posible para el mayor número de personas". Bentham rechaza, de esta manera, la moral tradicional inspirada en el sacrificio e identifica lo útil con el bien. Así la postura utilitarista nos llevaría al hedonismo, pudiendo conducir al desprecio de los valores espirituales. Para obtener la felicidad máxima será necesario un cálculo adecuado de los placeres que se pueden obtener a través de una acción.
