Jeremy Bentham (1748 - 1832) was a British philosopher who contributed many ideas to various fields such as philosophy, economics, public policy, government, and law.[1] Bentham was considered a consequentialist and utilitarian, and is widely regarded as the founder of modern utilitarianism.[2] In his contemplation of right and wrong, he explored the concepts of utility and the greatest happiness principle.[3] Although not the first to create those ideas, Bentham's work has greatly influenced thinking in these areas throughout the nineteenth century and up to the present day.[4]
