What this gap has to say about all of the other philosophical alternatives to Kantian and utilitarian philosophy, which include but are not limited to Hegelian and Marxian philosophy, could be a matter of some debate. It may be that they have not been applied to ethics because those who work within them have other other interests -- or it may be that as systems of philosophical thought, they have major lacunae which keep them from being very useful in the field of applied ethics.

Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never has, and it never will. If there is no struggle, there is no progress.

They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters. -- Frederick Douglass --
