" Ô, puissè-je me partager comme un polype ! Puissè-je disposer d'une douzaine de moi ! J'ai du travail pour tous ! ". L'inlassable auteur qu'est Bentham a ouvert de multiples voies : en droit et en politique, en éthique plutôt qu'en morale, en philosophie de la religion, mais aussi, par sa réflexion sur l'éducation, dans les sciences et en technologie. Toutes ces voies naissent de la même origine : la recherche du plaisir auquel est conférée une valeur ontologique. Sans doute, les notions d'utilité, de préférence et de calcul, la théorie des jeux aidant, ont-elles aujourd'hui remplacé le plaisir, semblant ainsi reléguer la figure du " père de l'utilitarisme " au plan de l'histoire des idées. C'est oublier que la philosophie benthamienne, dans son usage des fictions, se révèle porteuse de savoirs nouveaux, qui ont tout juste commencé d'être explorés.

Having a two-fold object in view, the work herewith submitted to my countrymen is in two parts. By the first, which is nothing more than a familiar biographical sketch, they are brought acquainted with the man Jeremy Bentham: by the last, which may be regarded as an abridgment of his whole system of philosophy, with the Philanthropist, the Lawgiver, and the Statesman. Of the biographical sketch referred to, which precedes the following translation of his celebrated work on morals and law, by M. Dumont of Geneva, a small part has already appeared in the Yankee and other journals of our country; the remainder is entirely new. The whole of the second part has been carefully reviewed and compared with the originals, paragraph by paragraph. The readers (and the writers) of the Edinburgh, Quarterly, Westminster and North American Reviews, will now have what they never have had before--an opportunity of knowing the truth and the whole truth about the character and opinions, the philosophy and the faith of a man, whose followers--the calumniated Utilitarians--are now so numerous and so powerful, as to be reckoned a party in the British empire.
