Explanation:

Hello!

In 1780, Jeremy Bentham published "Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation", in which he proposed the initial proposal of an ethical doctrine that would later be known as utilitarianism.  

Utilitarianism defines the value of human actions by their usefulness.  This means that the value of an action will be allocated by the capacity of that action to achieve the highest level of happiness for the greatest number of people. Happiness was understood in a hedonistic way, so it was sought to increase pleasure and decrease pain.

In 1863, Stuart Mill publishes "Utilitarianism", in which he proposes the assessment of pleasure not only quantitatively, but also qualitatively.
