The Golden Rule in Kant and Mill's Ethical Theories

2005, p. 79) Moral law, like social law, is a guideline system for managing human behavior. The Ten Commanded by Moses is a moral law with the command of God, which can be a universal rule that everyone should observe. Kant believes that if you want to do it, "moral law can not be essentially a hypothesis and can not be a form". Morality is not determined by desire and its result. On the contrary, the law itself must be absolute in the form of "doing this" or "not doing". (Stumpf, S.E.

The fundamental principles of John Mill's utilitarianism and Emanuel Kant's moral metaphysics suggest different views of the two philosophers about the field of moral philosophy. Compared to Kant 's metaphysical segmentation and its use in proof of validity and error, Mill' s utilitarianism is a more sophisticated ethical theory. Kant takes his confirmation of metaphysical survival as discipline of his moral philosophy. If the law has moral power it will be the foundation.

When Kant holds the theory of rationalism, Mill has an empirical theory. Kant is morally ethical in the form he believes, it is necessary for practical judgment of freedom and reason. Utilitarian theory of Miller is a kind of resultism. Because the correctness and badness of behavior depends on the outcome. Kant's pure ethics is the basis of his absolute command and provides the basis for his theory of universal duty. Utilitarian theory of Miller is the main form of resultantism

John Stuart Mill believes in the moral theory called Utilitarianism and his theory is based on the principle of giving the greatest happiness to most people and Mueller supports the pursuit of happiness. Kant believes that moral theory is called moralist and believes that only the principle of action is important. Utilitarianism believes that morally correct behavior maximizes happiness and minimizes pain. Utilitarian believes that the outcome of actions demonstrates the moral acceptability of the means by which it is accomplished, and the outcome of the behavior is beyond other considerations. In other words, they believe the final proof is correct. Utilitarian thinks that behavior is morally correct if it brings happiness, but it is wrong if it causes pain.
