Question:
- Is religion a good source of moral guidance? Describe what you take to be the strongest arguments on both side of the issue, and then defend your own view.
- What is the relationship between religion and morality? Does morality depend on religion in any sense? Defend your answer.
- Is there a single correct definition of human nature? If not, is this a problem for the natural law theory?
- How do you think that an ethical egoist might try to argue for the existence of moral rights? Can such an argument succeed?
- Would everyone be better off if each of us just pursued our own self-interest? If so, is this a strong consideration in favor of ethical egoism?
- Do human lives have a purpose? Does knowing the purpose of human lives help us to determine what is morally required?
- Is it ever rational to act contrary to one’s self-interest? If so, under what circumstances? If not, does this show that ethical egoism is true?
