The Analytical School

Bentham had a cardinal influence on modern society by rejecting natural law and subjective values and replacing them with standards based on human advantages, pleasures, and satisfactions.

Bentham's emphasis on reform and social welfare, despite being a believer in Laissez-faire, ironically made him one of the creators of the modern collectivist welfare state.

Bentham's contribution to legal theory is called epoch making. He transitioned from the peculiar brand of natural law function doctrine in the work of Blackstone to the rigorous positivism.
