This paper will discuss a scenario of how a certain person named John, would have dealt with the ideas of Kant and Rousseau in dealing with the murder of man who known for greed and very old. By relating his validation for this type of thinking, with the guidance of these two philosophers, we can see how they relate to each other. By understanding the two philosophies, we can see how the character 'john' was right in killing the old man, who would have been a cure for the evils of this greedy man's affect on society. 3 pgs, bibliography lists 2 sources.
