Kant's ethical theory, known as deontology, focuses on the intention behind an action and believes in following moral duties and principles regardless of the consequences. Mill's ethical theory, known as utilitarianism, emphasizes maximizing overall happiness or pleasure and minimizing pain, with the consequences of an action being the primary factor in determining its morality.
