White			.html	text/html	1785	78	48	A Review of Kantian Ethics and Economics: Autonomy, Dignity, and Character 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. But just as people can make choices to change their income or wealth-by legitimate or illegitimate means-they can also choose their moral constraints, and the Kantian agent chooses to follow perfect duties. 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/www-themontrealreview-com-3845.html	./txt/www-themontrealreview-com-3845.txt
