Kingdom of Ends

The "Kingdom of Ends" is a concept from philosopher Immanuel Kant, emphasizing that all individuals should be treated as ends in themselves, not merely as means to an end. This means recognizing and respecting each person's inherent dignity and moral worth. In this framework, everyone is viewed as a member of a moral community where mutual respect and ethical behavior govern interactions. Essentially, it promotes the idea that ethical decisions should consider the impact on all individuals, fostering a society where people support each other's autonomy and well-being.
