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. 606 $aDiaries, letters & journals$2bicssc 606 $aPhilosophy$2bicssc 606 $aWestern philosophy: c 1600 to c 1900$2bicssc 606 $aEthics & moral philosophy$2bicssc 610 $aphilosophy 610 $ajeremy bentham 610 $autilitarianism 610 $alegal thought 610 $aLondon 610 $aPostmark 610 $aSamuel Bentham 615 7$aDiaries, letters & journals 615 7$aPhilosophy 615 7$aWestern philosophy: c 1600 to c 1900 615 7$aEthics & moral philosophy 676 $a192 700 $aL.
