Hegel's Critique of Utilitarianism and Kant's Deontology

This chapter explores Hegel's critique of utilitarianism as a superficial form of finitude and his criticism of Kant's deontology as solipsistic. It delves into the differences between Kant's ethics and Hegel's thought, highlighting the relativistic nature of Kant's ethics and the dangers of following conscience as the ultimate moral bar. Additionally, it discusses Hegel's dissatisfaction with certain elements of the Enlightenment and how he aims to collapse the distinction between the finite and the infinite through the notion of zitikite, or ethical life.
