John E. Hare is a classicist, ethicist, and currently Professor of Philosophical Theology at Yale Divinity School. Previously, he has taught at Calvin College and Lehigh University. The son of the British utilitarian R. M. Hare, Hare has created his own ethical theory which integrates Kantian deontological ethics with utilitarian consequentialist ethics. Hare's philosophy (unlike his father's) is specifically Christian and includes elements of Divine command theory.
