Interest, duty and benevolence

By Alberto N. Adum

This paper attempts, on the one hand, to explain the apparent difficulties between two ethical positions: Greek eudaimonism and Kantian universalism. Kant criticised ethics that put happiness as the motive for their actions and claimed that they were egoistic ethics. Robert Spaemann takes this problem as a starting point and proposes the concept of benevolence or love as a way of overcoming both perspectives.
