The said truth is that it is the greatest happiness of the greatest number that is the measure of right and wrong. ~ Jeremy Bentham
Panopticon Bentham quotes by Jeremy Bentham
All punishment is mischief; all punishment in itself is evil. ~ Jeremy Bentham
Panopticon Bentham quotes by Jeremy Bentham
Tyranny and anarchy are never far apart. ~ Jeremy Bentham
Panopticon Bentham quotes by Jeremy Bentham
For a spy novelist like me, the Edward J. Snowden story has everything. A man driven by ego and idealism - can anyone ever distinguish the two? - leaves his job and his beautiful girlfriend behind. He must tell the world the Panopticon has arrived. His masters vow to punish him, and he heads for Moscow in a desperate search for refuge. ~ Alex Berenson
Panopticon Bentham quotes by Alex Berenson
It is vain to talk of the interest of the community, without understanding what is the interest of the individual. ~ Jeremy Bentham
Panopticon Bentham quotes by Jeremy Bentham
We can use manual mode thinking to explicitly describe our automatic settings (Aristotle); we can use manual mode thinking to justify our automatic settings (Kant); and we can use manual mode thinking to transcend the limitations of our automatic settings (Bentham and Mill). ~ Joshua D. Greene
Panopticon Bentham quotes by Joshua D. Greene
felicity. It's simple math, though. Add up the pleasurable aspects of your life, then subtract the unpleasant ones. The result is your overall happiness. The same calculations, Bentham believed, could apply to an entire nation. Every action a government took, every law it passed, should be viewed through the "greatest happiness" prism. ~ Eric Weiner
Panopticon Bentham quotes by Eric Weiner
No power of government ought to be employed in the endeavor to establish any system or article of belief on the subject of religion. ~ Jeremy Bentham
Panopticon Bentham quotes by Jeremy Bentham
Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove. Every day will allow you,
will invite you to add something to the pleasure of others,
or to diminish something of their pains. ~ Jeremy Bentham
Panopticon Bentham quotes by Jeremy Bentham
There's nothing unmanly about surrender. It takes a brave man to give in. ~ Dev Bentham
Panopticon Bentham quotes by Dev Bentham
He'd sworn off sex, remember? Not unless he could do it properly, humanly, heartfully. ~ Dev Bentham
Panopticon Bentham quotes by Dev Bentham
There was this philosopher-slash-historian called Foucault, who wrote about how society is like this legendary prison called panopticon. In the panopticon, you might be underconstant observation, except you can never be sure whether someone is watching or not, so you wind up following the rules anyway."
"But how do you know who's a watcher and who's a prisoner?" ...
"That's the point. Even the watchers are prisoners. ~ Robyn Schneider
Panopticon Bentham quotes by Robyn Schneider
You pass the old L.A. County jail, which is surprisingly beautiful. It's got a handsome stone facade and stately columns. The new L.A. County jail - called The Twin Towers - isn't beautiful at all; it's a stucco panopticon the color of sick flesh. ~ Leslie Jamison
Panopticon Bentham quotes by Leslie Jamison
Unkind language is sure to produce the fruits of unkindness
that is, suffering in the bosom of others. ~ Jeremy Bentham
Panopticon Bentham quotes by Jeremy Bentham
Every law is an infraction of liberty. ~ Jeremy Bentham
Panopticon Bentham quotes by Jeremy Bentham
Judges of elegance and taste consider themselves as benefactors to the human race, whilst they are really only the interrupters of their pleasure ... There is no taste which deserves the epithet good, unless it be the taste for such employments which, to the pleasure actually produced by them, conjoin some contingent or future utility: there is no taste which deserves to be characterized as bad, unless it be a taste for some occupation which has mischievous tendency. ~ Jeremy Bentham
Panopticon Bentham quotes by Jeremy Bentham
As to the evil which results from a censorship, it is impossible to measure it, for it is impossible to tell where it ends. ~ Jeremy Bentham
Panopticon Bentham quotes by Jeremy Bentham
What is the source of this premature anxiety to establish fundamental laws? It is the old conceit of being wiser than all posterity - wiser than those who will have had more experience, - the old desire of ruling over posterity - the old recipe for enabling the dead to chain down the living ~ Jeremy Bentham
Panopticon Bentham quotes by Jeremy Bentham
It is the greatest good to the greatest number of people which is the measure of right and wrong. ~ Jeremy Bentham
Panopticon Bentham quotes by Jeremy Bentham
Well, Mr. Illiterate Jock, let me enlighten you. There was this philosopher-slash-historian called Foucault, who wrote about how society is like this legendary prison called the panopticon. In the panopticon, you might be under constant observation, except you can never be sure whether someone is watching or not, so you wind up following the rules anyway."
"But how do you know who's a watcher and who's a prisoner?" I asked, pulling into the empty parking lot.
"That's the point. Even the watchers are prisoners. Come on, let's go on the swings. ~ Robyn Schneider
Panopticon Bentham quotes by Robyn Schneider
I decided that my means were sufficient to enable me to devote myself to botany, a determination which I never, during the long period of my subsequent career, had on any occasion any reason to repent of. ~ George Bentham
Panopticon Bentham quotes by George Bentham
Jeremy Bentham startled the world many years ago by stating in effect that if the amount of pleasure obtained from each be equal there is nothing to choose between poetry and push-pin. Since few people now know what push-pin is, I may explain that it is a child's game in which one player tries to push his pin across that of another player, and if he succeeds and then is able by pressing down on the two pins with the ball of his thumb to lift them off the table he wins possession of his opponent's pin. [...] The indignant retort to Bentham's statement was that spiritual pleasures are obviously higher than physical pleasures. But who say so? Those who prefer spiritual pleasures. They are in a miserable minority, as they acknowledge when they declare that the gift of aesthetic appreciation is a very rare one. The vast majority of men are, as we know, both by necessity and choice preoccupied with material considerations. Their pleasures are material. They look askance at those who spent their lives in the pursuit of art. That is why they have attached a depreciatory sense to the word aesthete, which means merely one who has a special appreciation of beauty. How are we going to show that they are wrong? How are we going to show that there is something to choose between poetry and push-pin? I surmise that Bentham chose push-pin for its pleasant alliteration with poetry. Let us speak of lawn tennis. It is a popular game which many of us can play with pleasure. It needs skill and jud ~ W. Somerset Maugham
Panopticon Bentham quotes by W. Somerset Maugham
By utility is meant that property is any object, whereby it tends to produce benefit, advantage, pleasure, good, or happiness(all this in the present case come to the same thing) or (what comes again to the same thing) to prevent the happening of mischief, pain, evil or unhappiness to the party who whose is considered: if that party be the community in general, then the happiness of the community; if a particular individual; then the happiness of that individual ~ Jeremy Bentham
Panopticon Bentham quotes by Jeremy Bentham
An absolute and unlimited right over any object of property would be the right to commit nearly every crime.If Ihad sucha right over thestick Iamaboutto cut, I might employ it as a mace to knock down the passengers, or I might convert it into a sceptre as an emblem of royalty, or into an idol to offend the national religion. ~ Jeremy Bentham
Panopticon Bentham quotes by Jeremy Bentham
Without publicity, no good is permanent; under the auspices of publicity, no evil can continue. ~ Jeremy Bentham
Panopticon Bentham quotes by Jeremy Bentham
The word "independence" is united to the accessory ideas of dignity and virtue. The word "dependence" is united to the ideas of inferiority and corruption. ~ Jeremy Bentham
Panopticon Bentham quotes by Jeremy Bentham
What else is it that should trace the insuperable line? Is it the faculty of reason or perhaps the faculty of discourse? But a full-grown horse or dog is beyond comparison a more rational, as well as more conversable animal, than an infant of a day or a week or even a month old. But suppose they were otherwise, what would it avail? The question is not, Can they reason?, nor Can they talk? but, Can they suffer? Why should the law refuse its protection to any sensitive being? The time will come when humanity will extend its mantle over everything which breathes ... ~ Jeremy Bentham
Panopticon Bentham quotes by Jeremy Bentham
Not Locke, nor Hume, nor Smith, nor Burke, could ever have argued, as Bentham did, that "every law is an evil for every law is an infraction of liberty." Their argument was never a complete laissez faire argument, which, as the very words show, is also part of the French rationalist tradition and in its literal sense was never defended by any of the English classical economists. They knew better than most of their later critics that it was not some sort of magic but the evolution of "well-constructed institutions," where the "rules and principles of contending interests and compromised advantages" would be reconciled, that had successfully channeled individual efforts to socially beneficial aims. In fact, their argument was never antistate as such, or anarchistic, which is the logical outcome of the laissez faire doctrine; it was an argument that accounted both for the proper functions of the state and for the limits of state action. ~ Friedrich A. Hayek
Panopticon Bentham quotes by Friedrich A. Hayek
How is property given? By restraining liberty; that is, by taking it away so far as necessary for the purpose. How is your house made yours? By debarring every one else from the liberty of entering it without your leave. ~ Jeremy Bentham
Panopticon Bentham quotes by Jeremy Bentham
Secrecy, being an instrument of conspiracy, ought never to be the system of a regular government. ~ Jeremy Bentham
Panopticon Bentham quotes by Jeremy Bentham
Is it possible for a man to move the earth? Yes; but he must first find out another earth to stand upon. ~ Jeremy Bentham
Panopticon Bentham quotes by Jeremy Bentham
The offence is what is improperly called the death of an infant, who has ceased to be, before knowing what existence is, a result of a nature not to give the slightest inquietude to the most timid imagination; and which can cause no regrets but to the very person who, through a sentiment of shame and pity, has refused to prolong a life begun under the auspices of misery. ~ Jeremy Bentham
Panopticon Bentham quotes by Jeremy Bentham
Jenni Fagan is the real thing, and The Panopticon is a real treat: maturely alive to the pains of maturing, and cleverly amused as well as appalled by what it finds in the world. ~ Andrew Motion
Panopticon Bentham quotes by Andrew Motion
If Christianity needed an Anti-Christ, they needed look no farther than Paul. ~ Jeremy Bentham
