Paper Summary:
The paper discusses Kant's theory, which is based on rationality and the freedom of choice to act morally. It continues to discuss Mill's theory of maximization of happiness. In conclusion the author of the paper offers his personal opinion on the two theories and qualifies this opinion.From the Paper:
"Kant also maintains that morality must be separated from all practical or empirical concerns. In other words, he feels that morality must be a priori so that every person is ought to take that action regardless of his experiences or any other excuses. The questions of whether it can be done, is it human nature to do it, etc should not be taken into account. Similarly the circumstances under which the act is being performed must not be a consideration too."More papers on Morality Theories:
