Jeremy Bentham(1748-1832) is known as father of  modern jurisprudence. Jurisprudence is basically the theoretical aspect of the word law. In jurisprudence, we do not deal with the practically applicable pieces of statutory law; rather we try to understand the very essence of law and its various dimensions. Like in the other subjects, for example, geography, we have geographical thought as a subject of study, similarly, in law we have got "legal thought" which is called "jurisprudence". The basic questions that we try to answer in jurisprudence are - What is law?, Why should it exist?. What should be the nature and purpose of the law?, What are rights and duties and what should be their nature?, What is ownership and possession and why does law have to protect them?, etc. Jurisprudence refers to a certain type...
