LEH 355 Moral Controversy Midterm:
Each of the following questions require you to read a passage and then reconstruct the argument into standard form. After this you must test for validity and soundness. Make sure you take the time to understand exactly what is being argued for and do not confuse examples/explanations with premises for the argument. Good responses will be between 300 and 400 words for each question.
Cultural Relativists point to the apparent different behaviors of culture and claim this is a sign that there is significant moral disagreement between cultures. Rachel’s tries to argue against the idea that cultures significantly diverge on moral matters in the following quote. What are the premises and conclusion of the following argument (3 points)? Is the argument logically valid (2 points)? Are the premises of the argument true? Why or why not? (5 points)?
“Consider a culture in which people believe it is wrong to eat cows. This may even be a poor culture, in which there is not enough food; still, the cows are not to be touched. Such a society would appear to have values very different from our own. But does it? We have not yet asked why these people will not eat cows. Suppose it is because they believe that after death the souls of humans inhabit the bodies of animals, especially cows, so that a cow may be someone’s grandmother. Now do we want to say that their values are different from ours? No; the difference lies elsewhere. The difference is in our belief systems, not in our values. We agree that we shouldn’t eat Grandma; we simply disagree about whether the cow is (or could be) Grandma” (Rachels and Rachels, p. 22)
In the following quote, Rachel’s is raising an objection to the nihilist. What are the premises and conclusion of the following argument (3 points)? Is the argument logically valid (2 points)? Are the premises of the argument true? Why or why not? (5 points)?
“[I]t is a fact that the Nazis killed millions of people based on their racial backgrounds; but according to Nihilism, it is not a fact that the Nazis acted badly. Instead, the Nihilist would say, different people have different opinions, and no one is right. You may believe one thing, but Adolph Hitler believes something else, and Hitler’s opinion is just as good as yours. Viewed in this light, Nihilism seems absurd.” (Rachels and Rachels, p. 40)
Social Contract Theorists claim that though we do not sign an actual contract, we implicitly comply with one by freely choosing to stay in and enjoy the benefits of the society we find ourselves in. David Hume Objects to this claim in the following quote. What are the premises and conclusion of the following argument (3 points)? Is the argument logically valid (2 points)? Are the premises of the argument true? Why or why not? (5 points)?
“Can we seriously say, that a poor peasant or artisan has a free choice to leave his country, when he knows no foreign language or manners, and lives from day to day, by the small wages which he acquires? We may as well assert, that a man, by remaining in a vessel, freely consents to the dominion of the master; though he was carried on board while asleep, and must leap into the ocean and perish, the moment he leaves her.”
