Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill did not work independently and simultaneously to formulate their utilitarian theories. Bentham, who lived from 1748 to 1832, developed his version of utilitarianism first. Mill, born in 1806 and passing in 1873, was influenced by Bentham's work and later developed his own version, refining and expanding upon Bentham's ideas.
