Jeremy Bentham was a philosopher and reformer, born in England.

Utilitarianism is a moral theory which talks about what is right, and what is wrong, and depending upon what is right and wrong, how people and institutions should behave and make decisions.

The is the principle of utility and of the greatest happiness, states that all behavior should be aimed at producing the greatest utility.

Another key point of Jeremy Bentham’s utilitarianism is that an action is judged by its consequences only, not by the intention behind it. Ultimately, the goal of behavior is to achieve well-being or happiness.
