Immanuel Kant's work in this area emphasized the importance of duty and universal moral laws, for example in his famous categorical imperative. This principle guided individuals towards ethical actions by appealing to rationality.\n\n\nIn contrast, Bentham proposed a philosophy of utilitarianism, an ethical theory focused on maximizing happiness for the greatest number of people.
