The Life and Times of Jeremy Bentham

The 18th century English philosopher, Jeremy Bentham, was a ground-breaking social reformer, with many of his ideas laying the groundwork for reforms in law and social policy that are still in effect to this day. However, he was also quite a peculiar character. Here are some quirky facts about him.

Bentham's eccentricities began with his vocabulary. He coined many of the words we use today, such as 'international', 'submergible', 'antagonising', 'exhaustive', and even the word 'eccentric' itself. His creativity extended beyond language; he invented underpants, a novel concept at the time. Bentham also had a knack for naming his belongings. His walking sticks, for instance, were affectionately called 'Dapple' and 'Dobbin'. His sense of humour was evident in the names of his pets as well. He had a cat named 'The Reverend Sir John Langborne' and, quite unusually, a teapot he named 'Dickie'.

One lesser-known fact is that Bentham bore a striking resemblance to Benjamin Franklin. He was aware of this similarity and found it amusing, often entertaining guests with comparisons of Franklin’s portrait to his own likeness.

But perhaps the most fascinating aspect of Bentham's legacy is that he requested his body be mummified and displayed after his death, like the Pharaohs of Egypt. His skeleton, dressed in his clothes and topped with a wax head, is seated in a glass case at University College London.

Bentham's quirks were not merely superficial; they also reflected his innovative mind. His contributions to language and legal theory remain influential, but these personal anecdotes reveal a more colourful and human side to the philosopher.
