Discuss how your concept of reality and human nature influences the way you think about morality. For example, are humans made of two distinct substances, mind and body? Or are we made of the same substance as the rest of reality as metaphysical materialists and Buddhists claim? Use specific examples to illustrate your answer. Discuss Alfred Ayer’s claim, in the section from his essay “Emotivism,” that moral judgments are nothing more than expressions of feeling and have no validity. If morality is simply an expression of feeling, is there any such thing as moral responsibility? Are Gandhi and Hitler morally equivalent? Support your answer.
