Abstract

Sabido es que el filósofo inglés Jeremy Bentham (1748–1832), a quien se asocia en economía con la teoría de la utilidad, mantuvo intensas relaciones, en diversos momentos de su vida, con España, los españoles y los hispanoame-ricanos. El presente artículo analiza con detalle la obra de Bentham «Libraos de Ultramar», un manuscrito que ha permanecido inédito hasta hoy, y es muy poco conocido. Rid Yourselves of Ultramaria, tal su título original, fue redactado entre 1820 y 1822 y, aunque su mensaje manifiesto es insistir a Ios españoles sobre la conveniencia de la emancipación de sus colonias, tiene un objetivo último bastante diferente; el septuagenario Bentham pretendía Ilamar la atención sobre ciertos peligros que se cernían sobre el régimen liberal en España, derivados especialmente de las deficiencias que, según el inglés, aquejaban a la Constitución de Cádiz de 1812.
