Sobre l'autor

Jeremy Bentham was born in London, on February 15, 1748, the son of an attorney. He was admitted to Queen's College, Oxford, at age 12 and graduated in 1763. He had his master's degree by 1766 and passed the bar exam in 1769. An English reformer and political philosopher, Bentham spent his life mostra'n més supporting countless social and political reform measures and trying as well to create a science of human behavior. He advocated a utopian welfare state and designed model cities, prisons, schools, and so on, to achieve that goal. He defined his goal as the objective study and measurement of passions and feelings, pleasures and pains, will and action. The principle of "the greatest happiness of the greatest number," set forth in his Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation, governed all of his schemes for the improvement of society, and the philosophy he devised, called utilitarianism, set a model for all subsequent reforms based on scientific principles. Bentham also spoke about complete equality between the sexes, law reform, separation of church and state, the abolition of slavery, and animal rights. Bentham died on June 6, 1832, at the age of 84 at his residence in Queen Square Place in Westminster, London. He had continued to write up to a month before his death, and had made careful preparations for the dissection of his body after death and its preservation as an auto-icon.

I didn't feel like I needed to have read this after I read it; I think the other work you encounter that talks about the panopticon does a pretty good job of summing it up, and I will be honest that I did not really understand the fragment on ontology. But I do appreciate the return to the text, and the introduction by Miran Božovič did a good job with the framework and exploring some of the points of the writings that I probably would have missed otherwise. If you're REALLY into like returning to the original text, or have other interests in Bentham's larger work (oops I don't) then obviously it makes sense for you to read this, but if you've already read the other works and are like "great" then you are probably okay on this one. More like 3.5 stars from me.… (més)

Jeremy Bentham was a British philosopher, jurist, social reformer and the founder of modern utilitarianism. He is in the row with the greatest thinkers Adam Smith, John Stuart Mill, John Keynes, John Locke, and Alfred Marshall. Their thoughts had strong influence on building the foundation of the United States and its endeavor of open society.

Jeremy Bentham invented the axiom of the greatest happiness of the greatest number. His writings emphasised the pursuit of happiness and freedom and became popular in the new republics of America and the other counties.

ANARCHICAL FALLACIES is one of the most important works by Jeremy Bentham with great relevance to modern political debate. Disagreeing with the first article of the Declaration which states that all men are born free, Bentham argued that all men were born in subjection. The subjection was perceived by him as the subjection of a helpless child to his more mature parents. He also insisted that the conclusion which can be done of this statement is that “the apprentice can be equal in rights to his master”.

Jeremy Bentham also argued in the book that origin of the governments was not a contract but habit and believed that the contract came from the government and not vice versa.

He finally argued in the book argues that rights such as liberty, property, security and resistance to oppression must have some bounds. These bounds should be written in laws.

Jeremy Bentham’s work produced great influence on utilitarianism, philosophy, jurist, and economics. His influence has been felt in nearly every field of the humanities and social sciences.

This book is one of the most important ones about the deepest thoughts of equal rights of all men and women by Jeremy Bentham, one of the greatest thinkers of modern economics and philosophy on the planet.
