Jeremy Bentham (1748 - 1832) was a British philosopher who contributed many ideas to various fields such as philosophy, economics, public policy, government, and law. Bentham was considered a consequentialist and utilitarian, and is widely regarded as the founder of modern utilitarianism. In his contemplation of right and wrong, he explored the concepts of utility and the greatest happiness principle. 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.[1]
