I love the following words of his, on the subject of animals.."the question is not, "can they talk," nor, "can they reason?" but, can they suffer. " Very well said, and that is the only reason I looked for him here. Thankyou for this.

it would hve been much more interesting if they had used his real head

Do I here a scottish accent mixed in there? I only looked this video up to see his body

bentham is a pig. to further defend this point would give him an honor beyond his worth. may he be forgotten, and never missed.

60,000 sheets of manuscripts! Wow. Jeremy Bentham was trully a tireless thinker and writter. I guess its going to take years and a doctorate to become a Bentham expert. I first heard of Jeremy Bentham in the book "A deadly Indiference" which I was required to read for an economics class in college. Bentham was briefly mentioned in the book but he was not actually a character. The line "the mortal remains of Jeremy Bentham" have stayed in my memory since 1999, 11 years ago.

Philip Schofield lol, how unfortunate

[ttimothymurphy]

didn't he invent the panopticon?

[pinoko1311]

@ttimothymurphy panopticon is his own idea, i think. and Foucault used that concept in a different context.
