(iii) Morality and objectivity
Dirk Baltzly and Jeanette Kennett
Synopsis Is moral practice essentially a sham, based on hypocrisy, or
can we objectively justify both our moral beliefs and our moral motivations?
These questions are to be the subject of this unit. We will examine the
relationship between morality and religion, self-interest, the natural human
disposition to be sympathetic and the capacity to engage in rational
reflection.
