1. According to Kant‚ we should never treat anyone merely as a means. Therefore we should not lie to someone even if that means that we may prevent 5 other people from being used as mere means.

Given that John Stuart Mill was a student of Aristotle’s work‚ it comes as no surprise that there are many commonalities between Aristotle’s and Mill’s ideas. One of the biggest ideas shared by the two is that all humans are striving towards the Good in their lives. However‚ while they both believe happiness is the ultimate Good in our lives‚ they differ in their conclusions about what happiness is and how to reach it. It is these differences in conclusions that further separate the two in their
