Joseph Priestley (1733-1804), philosopher, scientist and unorthodox theologian, was one of the intellectual giants of the Enlightenment. He wrote prolifically and made significant contributions in many areas of 18th-century life, including physical science, political economy, moral philosophy, history, education, metaphysics and theology. His work was highly influential, and among his followers were Jeremy Bentham, who took up his phrase the greatest happiness of the greatest number, and Jefferson, who made use of his ideas in the American Declaration of Independence.
