The Utilitarianism in the Victorian Age

The 19th-century social thinking was influenced also by the philosophical movement of utilitarianism, based on Bentham’s principles.
Utilitarianism contributed to the Victorian conviction that any problem could overcome through reason. 
The key-words of this philosophy were: usefulness, happiness and avoidance of pain .
