Kantian Ethics and the Utilitarian View

Abstract: This 7 page report discusses the relationship between the Kantian Ethics and the Utilitarian view advocated by thinkers such as Jeremy Bentham, J.S. Mills, and J. Rawls regarding the issue of morality and rationality. Also briefly discussed regarding the issue are Sartre and Aquinas. Kant makes a clear distinction between perceiving and thinking, which he credits to two specific capabilities of the mind, sense and understanding. This is compared to how these other philosophers viewed the true nature of utilitarianism. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
