Kant is now officially confused with Francis Hutcheson ("greatest happiness 
for the greatest numbers") who is in turn now confused with perhaps....Sade 
(the "ethics [sic] of gang rape")????? Weird, because it's nonsense and 
also because y'all have been endlessly rehashing Kant's idea that morality 
requires religion to be coherent.

Hutcheson's phrase always winds up being used as a motto for fictional 
dystopias, so I suppose it's futile to try to defend him here, only to say 
that he clearly and specifically opposed the idea of moral relativism.
