Q. Who made a distinction between self and other regarding actions?
Answer: J.S. Mill
Notes: It is J.S. Mill who made the distinction between self regarding and other-regarding actions by stating that, “The only part of the conduct of any one for which is amenable to Society, is that which concerns others. In the part which merely concerns himself, his independence is, of right, absolute. Over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is Sovereign”.
