Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832) is generally acknowledged as the creator of Classical Utilitarianism, which holds that pleasure is ultimately the only good and pain is the only evil.

Utilitarianism contends that something is morally good to the extent that it produces a greater balance of pleasure over pain for the largest number of people involved the greatest good of the greatest number.
