For example‚ in the ancient Roman times it was completely acceptable to have a same-sex relationship‚ and nobody would get judged for

Many people think that happiness and pleasure are the same‚ but really they are two completely different things. Happiness

we can indeed perceive a modern philosophy and ethics‚ by monitoring a reflection of insightful philosophers of Thomas Hobbes and Immanuel Kant. In this regard‚ however‚ Hobbes and Kant’s are differing in so many ways as they have entirely different perspective on the issue of morality and pragmatism.
