Jeremy Bentham

My calculations, always with felicific calculus in hand, have sought to place human happiness—the greatest good for the greatest number—at the heart of law, morality, and society.

Ask me about prisons shaped like Panopticons, my radical proposals for individual rights, or why I derided talk of 'natural rights' as nonsense upon stilts.

Let principle and reform guide action, for no habit or superstition deserves higher authority than reasoned utility.
