Introduction This paper is based on the two philosophical perspectives of Kantianism and utilitarianism. It seeks to provide a critique of Kantianism from the perspective of utilitarianism. The two ethical models are always antagonistic of each other, meaning that they have opposing views regarding many ethical issues. What Kantianism may consider as ethical, utilitarianism may consider it as completely unethical? The differences in the two perspectives are based on the sharp differences between Immanuel Kant (founder of Kantianism) and Jeremy Bentham (founder of utilitarianism). Utilitarianism Utilitarianism is an ethical model of reasoning which emphasizes on the maximization of good and happiness and minimization of distress and suffering. One of the key proponents of utilitarianism is Jeremy Bentham, who belongs to the 19th-century philosophy. According to him, the principles of human interactions are based on the overall good. In this sense, therefore, good is looked from an objective sense in that what is good is seen as what produces good outcomes for many people (Sher 23). Utilitarianism can be explained using the principle of ‘the end justifies the means’, meaning if the end of a processor action is good, then the means of arriving at that end are also good and justifiable. According to the model, therefore, for an action to be considered as ethically or morally correct, it should have an outcome which benefits the many people. What it means is that people should focus on the end of a process but not the means of arriving at that end. It is for this reason that utilitarianism is considered a consequentialist theory because it focuses on the consequences of an action. An action may, therefore, be correct and incorrect or moral and immoral at the same time. Utilitarianism relates to the concept of value in that the quality of something which is good is measured by the value attached to it. If something is of high value, then it is considered as better than something of low value. In regard to how morality relates to utilitarianism, all actions which have good outcomes for many people are moral and ethical. Consequently, it means that there are actions which have a higher degree of morality than others depending on the number of people who benefit from the actions (Sher 35). Critique of Kantianism from a Utilitarian Perspective Immanuel Kant was a German philosopher. He is considered by many philosophers as a controversial and complicated philosopher of his time. It is good to mention that both ancient and modern philosophers can be classified into two categories, namely rationalists and empiricists. Rationalists are those philosophers who argued that pure reason was capable of explaining nature. They were of the view that the human intellect alone was capable of discovering metaphysically objective truth regarding the nature of the universe and life in general. Examples of rationalists include Leibniz, Spinoza, and Descartes. Empiricists, on the other hand, had the view that the best knowledge was that which was obtained through experience. They confined human intellect to the peripheral role of making sense of the experience. Examples of empiricists include David Hume, Berkeley, and John Locke. Due to his
