The concept of Svadharma is like :

  • A.Mill's utlitarianism
  • B.Kant's deontological ethics
  • C.Bradley's idea of "My station and its duties"
  • D.Bentham's Hedonism

Answer: C

Svadharma is like Bradley's idea of "My station and its duties".

Svadharma, stressed in the Bhagavadgita, is one's own duty fixed by one's station in society (varna and ashrama). Bradley's essay in Ethical Studies argues that a person realises himself by fulfilling the duties of his particular place in the social organism. Both tie duty to one's position in a community.

Mill and Bentham judge acts by consequences for happiness, and Kant's duty is universal, binding every rational being alike, not relative to one's station.
