Jeremy Bentham, the founder of utilitarianism, made a powerful
impact on several major areas of thought and policy: ethics,
jurisprudence, political and constitutional theory, and social and
administrative reform. Yet from the start his ideas have been
subject to misunderstanding and caricature. John Dinwiddy's Bentham
is regarded as the best introduction to this important jurist and
reformer. Dinwiddy examines the various components of Bentham's
philosophy and shows how each was shaped by the radical rethinking
entailed by the utilitarian approach. He also discusses
interpretations of Benthamism and its contemporary significance and
the controversial question of Bentham's influence on reform.
Bentham is reproduced here in full together with three classic
essays that deal with key issues in understanding Bentham: his
conversion to political radicalism, the relations between private
and public ethics, and his theory of adjudication. A new
introduction and select bibliography by William Twining set the
context and survey the developments in Bentham studies since the
book's original publication in 1989.
