Confucianism and Utilitarianism Comparing and contrasting these two ethical theories was quite difficult at times‚ mainly because they tend to be so contrasting that the two seem completely unalike. Especially when the two share a time difference of a couple millenniums from when they were created. This makes it quite easy to locate differences between the two‚ but for a quality paper that accounts for about only half of what to write. It took some time and extensive research to find what these two
