The Philosophies of Kant and Mill

Abstract: Throughout time man has attempted to understand the motivations of moral conduct. The associations between the individual and the establishment of society have been the subject of numerous debates and discourses that included the primary consideration of moral or ethical beliefs in the instigation of laws and, or the ethical meaning of community. Immanuel Kant has presented one viewpoint in The Foundations Of The Metaphysics of Morals that is founded on his belief that the worth of man is inherent in his ability to reason. This 5 page paper asserts that John Stuart Mill holds another opinion as presented in the book, Utilitarianism that is seemingly at odds with the thoughts of Kant. No additional sources are listed.
