Against the background of the debates on the American Revolution of 1776 and the French Revolution of 1789, to which he made significant contributions, Bentham worked first on producing a complete penal code, which involved him in detailed explorations of fundamental legal ideas, and then on his panopticon prison scheme. Despite developing a host of original and ground-breaking ideas, contained in a mass of manuscripts, he published little during these years, and remained, at the close of this period, a relatively obscure individual. Nevertheless, these volumes reveal how the foundations were laid for the remarkable rise of Benthamite utilitarianism in the early nineteenth century.Diaries, letters & journalsbicsscPhilosophybicsscWestern philosophy: c 1600 to c 1900bicsscEthics & moral philosophybicsscphilosophyjeremy benthamutilitarianismlegal thoughtLondonPostmarkSamuel BenthamDiaries, letters & journalsPhilosophyWestern philosophy: c 1600 to c 1900Ethics & moral philosophy192L.
