Jeremy Bentham: The British philosopher and economist who advocated the concept of utilitarianism, which basically states that the moral worth of an action depends on the greatest good for the greatest amount of people. His work was very influential among the utopian socialists, who sought to build the perfect community.
Bentham was heavily influenced by the work of the real John Locke.
