Bentham

Ken Binmore ()

Chapter Chapter 8 in Early Utilitarians, 2021, pp 39-45 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Who is the founder of modern utilitarianism? The general view confers this title on Jeremy Bentham, although his name is usually twinned with that of John Stuart Mill. The unspoken implication is that the eccentric Bentham may have hit upon the phrase \the greatest happiness for the greatest number", but it was Mill who was the serious thinker who provided utilitarianism with sound intellectual foundations.
