Bentham's significance spans many fields. In ethics, he is the founder of modern utilitarianism, one of the most influential moral theories of the last two centuries. In jurisprudence, his dichotomy between “law as it is” and “law as it ought to be” is at the root of legal positivism. He produced one of the most comprehensive theories of evidence in the Anglo-American tradition. He developed a systematic view of preventive punishment. His educational theories, based on access to all regardless of religion and gender, were the inspiration for the establishment of the University College London. Bentham put forward a utilitarian approach to liberal democracy. Keywords: Keywords: democratic theory; equality; liberal democracy; liberalism; political philosophy; utilitarianism

In this paper, two different axiologies of pleasure are attributed to Hutcheson and Mill. Hutcheson endorsed a hedonist axiology, where quality of pleasure works as a still quantitative factor, able to counterbalance other quantitative features of pleasurable mental states - such as intensity and duration. By contrast, in Mill's view of value, the quality of pleasures is the only value-making feature, silencing any contribution from other quantitative elements. Therefore, the presence of certain qualitative characteristics - namely, the connection of certain pleasures with human active faculties - becomes a necessary and sufficient condition of value. Due to this unique role of quality, Mill's axiology opens the way to non-pleasurable experiences being valuable - for non-pleasurable exercises of the human active faculties meet the condition to be valuable states. Thus, Mill's theory of value is declared non-hedonistic -against the recent claims to the contrary put forth by W. Donner.

This paper develops a view of the wrongness of personal political corruption. The latter is wrong even when it has no impact or relations with political institutions. The thought is that instances of personal moral corruption of politicians are wrong to voters because they amount to forcing the latter to be authors, namely responsible, of their representatives’ misdeeds. Political corruption is wrong because it violates citizens’ moral integrity, i.e., their entitlement to abstain from immoral deeds, and to be free of responsibility for them.

In ch. 2 of In a Better World, E. Baccarini claims that certain genetic interventions (additive enhancements and treatments) are permissible, whereas suppressive enhancements are impermissible. He connects these claims to an ideal of fair equality of opportunities, understood as a public reason. In this note, I made two points. First, an ideal of fair equality of opportunities in a post-genomic society commits us to the view that certain genetic interventions are prima facie required, not simply permissible. Second, a non-discriminatory or affirmational view of disability makes some suppressive enhancements permissible, at least if reproductive freedom is assumed.
