‘He had a sarcastic turn of phrase’: discovery of 1509 book sheds new light on ‘father of utilitarianism’
“Last month, UCL academics unveiled the most significant rediscovered books left to the university in Bentham’s will, including the translation of Brandt’s Ship of Fools and a maths textbook explaining Euclid’s propositions. Their contents, together with the philosopher’s own notes, indicate how some of his radical theories were first sparked.”
The one-year MSc / MRes programme I teach on at the #BartlettSchoolOfArchitecture#UCL called 'Space Syntax: Architecture and Cities' is holding an online open event for prospective students on 27 March, 1-2pm UK time.
Students from a non-architectural background are very welcome!
