The French Revolution and the Creation of Benthamism

This is the first study of how Genevan Etienne Dumont, and his traumatic experience of the French Revolution, shaped the reception and presentation of "Benthamism" and masked the true face of Jeremy Bentham, one of the architects of modern society who visualized a new world based on the values of transparency, accountability, and economy.
