Jeremy Bentham
Jeremy Bentham was an English philosopher and social reformer best known for his foundational role in the development of utilitarianism, a moral philosophy that advocates for actions that maximize happiness. He famously proposed the principle of 'the greatest happiness for the greatest number' as a guiding principle for legislation and social policies. Bentham's ideas on individual rights, legal reform, and welfare influenced various fields, including ethics, law, and economics. His advocacy for social reforms, including animal rights and the abolition of slavery, marked him as a progressive thinker of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
