Biographical note
Dr David Mills Daniel is an educational consultant who has worked for all the major international exam boards. Prior to his consultancy work, he was Associate Research Fellow in the School of Education at the University of Leeds.
In the Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation (1789), Bentham strove ‘to cut a new road through the wilds of jurisprudence’. Laws should be socially useful and not merely reflect the status quo; and, that while he believed that human beings inevitably pursue pleasure and avoid pain, Bentham thought it to be a ‘sacred truth’ that ‘the greatest happiness of the greatest number is the foundation of morals and legislation’.
