		Jeremy Bentham (IPA: ['benθəm]) (15 February 1748 – 6 June 1832) was an English gentleman, jurist, philosopher, and legal and social reformer.
		Bentham was a child prodigy and was found as a toddler sitting at his father's desk reading a multi-volume history of England.
		Bentham is frequently associated with the foundation of the University of London, which was later to become University College London, though this is misguided: Bentham was eighty years old when the University opened in 1828, and had no part in its establishment.

		Bentham is frequently associated with the foundation of the University of London, specifically University College London (UCL), though in fact he was 78 years old when UCL opened in 1826, and played no active part in its establishment.
		Bentham is the first and perhaps the greatest of the "philosophical radicals" — not only did he propose many legal and social reforms, but he also devised moral principles on which they should be based.
		Bentham stated that pleasures and pains can be ranked according to their value or “dimension” such as intensity, duration, certainty of a pleasure or a pain.

		Bentham is frequently associated with the foundation of the University of London, which was later to become University College London, though this is not actually true.
		Bentham was eighty years old when the University opened in 1828, and had no part in its establishment.
		However, Bentham strongly believed that education should be more widely available, particularly to those who were not wealthy or who did not belong to the established church, both of which were required by the traditional universities at Oxford and Cambridge.

	Jeremy Bentham [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Bentham is primarily known today for his moral philosophy, especially his principle of utilitarianism which evaluates actions based upon their consequences, in particular the overall happiness created for everyone affected by the action.
		Bentham admits that his version of the principle of utility is something that does not admit of direct proof, but he notes that this is not a problem as some explanatory principles do not admit of any such proof and all explanation must start somewhere.
		Bentham also suggests that individuals would reasonably seek the general happiness simply because the interests of others are inextricably bound up with their own, though he recognized that this is something that is easy for individuals to ignore.

	Jeremy Bentham, Biography: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty
		British economist Jeremy Bentham is most often associated with his theory of utilitarianism.
		A guiding principle of Bentham's schemes was that incentives should be designed "to make it each man's interest to observe on every occasion that conduct which it is his duty to observe." Interestingly, Bentham's thinking led him to the conclusion, one he shared with Smith, that professors should not be salaried.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Jeremy Bentham (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Jeremy Bentham is often introduced to students of English literature as the inspiration behind the awful Mr Gradgrind in Dickens’ Hard Times (1854), the schoolteacher who believes in nothing but “facts and calculations” and who grinds all the “bumps” off his pupils’ souls until they are perfectly flat.
		Educated at Westminster, Jeremy Bentham was admitted to Oxford at the age of 12 and to Lincoln’s Inn (one of the legal institutions where barristers receive their practical education) at the age of fifteen in 1763.
		Bentham’s reading, however, tended to be at variance with the obsessive reliance on precedent which then characterised English law, and which still in many ways forms a contrast between English and Continental European law.
