<HTML>Yoshie: << aren't we, standing on the shoulders of Hegel & Marx, beyond utilitarians? >> Where is the ethical theory, based on Hegel and Marx? Where are the Hegelians and Marxists who have written, for example, on questions of medical ethics, who have developed alternatives to concepts such as personhood which underly medical ethics? Without suggesting that either the Kantian or the utilitarian systems of ethics are entirely satisfactory, they clearly are the only systematic efforts to address the problems of ethics.   Leo Casey United Federation of Teachers 260 Park Avenue South New York, New York 10010-7272 (212-598-6869) Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never has, and it never will. If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation are men who want crops without plowing the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters. -- Frederick Douglass -- </HTML>
