What are the similarities between Bentham and Mill?

Both Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill are foundational figures in utilitarian philosophy, advocating for the principle of the greatest happiness as the basis for moral and ethical decision-making. They share the belief that the rightness of actions is determined by their consequences, specifically in terms of maximizing pleasure and minimizing pain. Additionally, both philosophers emphasize the importance of individual liberty and the role of social welfare, though Mill introduces a more nuanced view of qualitative differences in pleasures compared to Bentham's quantitative approach. Ultimately, their works collectively contribute to the development and refinement of utilitarian thought.
