Meaning Of Benthamism
n.
That phase of the doctrine of utilitarianism taught by
Jeremy Bentham; the doctrine that the morality of actions is estimated
and determined by their utility; also, the theory that the sensibility
to pleasure and the recoil from pain are the only motives which
influence human desires and actions, and that these are the sufficient
explanation of ethical and jural conceptions.
