7. SAMUEL TAYLOR
COLERIDGE
JEREMY BENTHAM
According to John Stuart Mill, writing soon after Queen Victoria
ascended the throne, one could not understand contemporary
thought without noticing that it divided into two schools derived
from Jeremy Bentham and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the "two
great seminal minds of England in their age" (“Bentham” 214).
As Mill explained in a second essay in The London and
Westminster Review,
the two men are each other's "completing counterpart": the strong points
of each correspond to the weak points of the other. Whoever could
master the premises and combine the methods of both, would possess
the entire English philosphy of their age. Coleridge used to say that
every one is born either a Platonist or an Aristotelian: it may be similarly
affirmed, that every Englishman of the present day is by implication
either a Benthamite or a Coleridgean (“Coleridge” 262).
