web-archive-org-1906		Kantian ethics or returning dignity to economics | Mark D. White			.html	text/html	1997	103	53	A Review of Kantian Ethics and Economics: Autonomy, Dignity, and Character It is relatively easy to incorporate consequentialist ethics into economic models of choice, because they both deal with making trade-offs in order to maximize some measure of well-being, either personal or societal. While many philosophers have contributed to consequentialist ethics over the years, the one most easily identified with deontology is Immanuel Kant (1724-1804), who developed a system of ethics based on the autonomy of all rational beings-by which they have the ability to make choices without regard to either external influence or internal desire-which in turn endows them with an inherent worth or dignity. Judgment and will are essential to Kantian ethics, but both are more difficult to include in economic models than duties were. He is the author of Kantian Ethics and Economics: Autonomy, Dignity and Character (Stanford, 2011), and has edited (or co-edited) many other books, including The Thief of Time: Philosophical Essays on Procrastination (with Chrisoula Andreou; Oxford, 2010).	./cache/web-archive-org-1906.html	./txt/web-archive-org-1906.txt
