Discussion Post: English

For this discussion post, I want you to read Hume's small excerpts found in your textbook found on page 14 in the section titled "Ethical Matters and Matters of Fact". After that try to answer the three questions listed on the same page. Answering these questions will be worth five points. Please respond to two other classmates for the remaining five points. For your reference, I will list them out here:

1) How does Hume employ the fact of animal incest to advance his argument that morality does not consist merely of "matters of fact" and that morality is not merely an "object of reason"? Get the instant assignment help.

2) Explain Hume's idea that morality is a matter of feelings and sentiments.

3) Why does Hume have a problem with deducing an ought from an is?

This passage may be difficult to read, but that is the point! Doing these types of exercise will help build your philosophical ability. All I ask is that you try our best and put in your share of effort. Don't worry about getting these questions correct, what's more important is the process! Also don't worry about being confused or lost because that is to be expected.
