Immanuel Kant (1724 - 1804)

Biography

Deontological & Kantian Ethics Kant and Kantian Ethics Immanuel Kant Links New Advent Catholic Encyclopedia Kant's ethical ideas are a logical outcome of his belief in the fundamental freedom of the individual as stated in his Critique of Practical Reason (1788). This freedom he did not regard as the lawless freedom of anarchy, but rather as the freedom of self-government, the freedom to obey consciously the laws of the universe as revealed by reason. He believed that the welfare of each individual should properly be regarded as an end in itself and that the world was progressing toward an ideal society in which reason would “bind every law giver to make his laws in such a way that they could have sprung from the united will of an entire people, and to regard every subject, in so far as he wishes to be a citizen, on the basis of whether he has conformed to that will.” In his treatise Perpetual Peace (1795) Kant advocated the establishment of a world federation of republican states.

John Stuart Mill(1806 - 1873)

Autobiography

Utilitarianism Essay on Liberty The Subjection of Women Biography Utilitarian Resources Mill takes the ground of the Golden Rule, that a man may do anything that he wishes to if he does not therefore injure his fellowmen. The "government" has no right to interfere with him, not even for his own good, as long as he is not injuring other people. ... The primary function of government as seen by Mill and his school was the protection of people from force or fraud, that is defence in war, safety in peace against violence, and security against cheating.(From Blue Pete )

Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832)

Biography

The Betham Project Bentham Texts Online Biography The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy Blue Pete Benthamism    Utilitarianism From New Advent Catholic Encyclopedia History of Modern Ethics Stephen Darwall - U Texas Austin Introduction to the Principles of Morality and Legislation Bentham's Philosophy:- Jeremy Bentham figured that laws should be socially useful and not merely reflect the status quo; and, that while he believed that men inevitably pursue pleasure and avoid pain, Bentham thought it to be a "sacred truth" that "the greatest happiness of the greatest number is the foundation of morals and legislation." Bentham supposed that the whole of morality could be derived from "enlightened self-interest," and that a person who always acted with a view to his own maximum satisfaction in the long run would always act rightly. (From Blue Pete )
