Jeremy Bentham was a British philosopher, jurist, social reformer and the founder of modern utilitarianism. He is in the row with the greatest thinkers Adam Smith, John Stuart Mill, John Keynes, John Locke, and Alfred Marshall.  Their thoughts had strong influence on building the foundation of the United States and its endeavor of open society.

Jeremy Bentham invented the axiom of the greatest happiness of the greatest number. His writings emphasised the pursuit of happiness and freedom and became popular in the new republics of America and the other counties.

The term Ontology be considered, as it generally is, synonymous with that of Metaphysics, Jeremy Bentham published the essays in A Fragment on Ontology between 1813 and 1821. Bentham intended to incorporate fragmented components of ontology in the great system of Mental Philosophy. The book was thought as the best to discuss those topics.

Jeremy Bentham's work produced great influence on utilitarianism, philosophy, jurist, and economics. His view became widely recognised as the foremost philosophical voice of political radicalism and his influence has been felt in nearly every field of the humanities and social sciences.

This book is one of the most important ones about Mental Philosophy by Jeremy Bentham, one of the greatest thinkers of modern economics and philosophy on the planet.
