CONFERENCE "UTILITARIANISM : ANALYSIS AND HISTORY" 
 
Charles Gide Association for the Study of Economic Thought 
and Faculte des Sciences Economiques et Sociales 
Universite des Sciences et Technologies de Lille (LILLE 1) 
 
25 - 26  January 1996 
 
"I dreamed t'other night that I was the founder of a sect", writes Bentham 
in his notes, "it was called the sect of the Utilitarians". 
The sect dissolved rapidly, but the reference to utilitarianism continued to 
feed economic thought for the next two centuries. 
The conference proposes a survey of the three highlights in its history: 
utilitarianism at its origin, the various interpretations elaborated during 
the XIXth and XXth century, and the current issues in contemporary economic 
theory that continue to be inspired by the utilitarian doctrine.
