Jeremy Bentham was an English philosopher, jurist, and social reformer regarded as the founder of modern utilitarianism.

Beyond being a philosopher and jurist, he was a pioneer in advocating for animal rights long before it became a mainstream topic.
He designed the panopticon, a prison architecture model intended to allow a single guard to observe all inmates.
He wrote under the pseudonym Philip Beauchamp to explore his political and legal ideas with greater freedom.
His prolific career left a legacy of over 500 works covering everything from economics to legal system reform.
