Question

Henry Sidgwick arrives at a dualism of these things by examining contradictions between utilitarianism and rational egoism. Bernard Williams argues that only internal versions of these things are valid, and that morality imposing external ones of these things onto a person are baseless.

These things are the first title entity in a work exploring the repugnant conclusion and the issue (10[1])of (-5[1])non-identity; that work by Derek Parfit is titled for these things and persons. David Hume critiques moral theories by asserting that this thing is a “slave to the passions.” (10[2])For 10 points, a critique of what concept’s pure form (10[1])titles a work by Immanuel Kant? ■END■ (10[2])
