 In 'Famine, Influence, and Morality' Singer argues that we have a duty to help others get out of poverty when we have the means to do so. But on what does he base the sense of duty? You saw in Kantian ethics (deontological) that the Moral Law was based on a belief that there exists a universal reason and right which we should internalize and follow regardless of the utilitarian consequences. Construct your first post around the following questions: do you think that Singer makes a compelling case for his position? Put another way, most people agree that we have a moral duty to help people when we can, and yet most of us don't do it. Now that you know that you can cure a person's preventable blindness with a donation of between $20-$50, have you done it, and if not, why not? This isn't a "guilt" question (though if you want to give, Singer suggests ways to do so here); rather, it's a philosophical question meant to give you insight into the foundations of your moral reasoning when you consider what moral duty we have to one another. So take the time to spell out your answer with reference to the moral theories that we've developed so far in the course. Your first post is due . While I encourage you to type your post into a word processor to check for spelling and grammar errors, please don't "attach": simply copy/paste your issue into the discussion box.
