The 18th Conference of the International Society for Utilitarian Studies will take place on 23–25 July 2026 at the Faculty of Law of the University of Macau. The Conference is generously supported by the University of Macau’s International Conference Fund.
This conference will celebrate a significant scholarly milestone: the publication of Essays on Logic, Ethics, and Universal Grammar in the new, authoritative edition of The Collected Works of Jeremy Bentham. The volume, edited by Professor Philip Schofield, will be published by UCL Press in December 2025 (https://uclpress.co.uk/book/essays-on-logic-ethics-and-universal-grammar/), and promises to reinvigorate engagement with Bentham’s contributions to the philosophy of logic and language, which have been undervalued in large part due to the shortcomings of earlier editions.
