Jeremy Bentham

    15. Februar 1749 – 6. Juni 1832

    Jeremy Bentham war ein einflussreicher Philosoph und Sozialreformer, der vor allem als Begründer des Utilitarismus bekannt ist. Sein Leitprinzip war das „größte Glück der größten Zahl“. Bentham setzte sich für radikale Reformen in den Bereichen Recht, Gefängniswesen und Bildung ein. In seinen Schriften kritisierte er Religion und religiöse Eide ausführlich und vertrat in diesem Zusammenhang die freie Meinungsäußerung.
