Question

200-250 words: • If moral reasoning is largely about providing good reasons for moral claims, where do feelings enter the picture? Is it possible to present a logical argument that you feel strongly about? If so, provide an example of such an argument.

Answer 1

Morality and moral claims are very much linked to feelings, in the same manner they are adjacent with reasoning. Most of the decisions in moral context reflect the feelings of the concerned person.

It is further possible to present a logical argument that we feel strongly about. For example, the medicines are tested on animals like frogs and rats before they are finalised and arrive in the individual's hands. Numerous animals die in this process. These animals too are having right to live.

This leads to compassion and the empathy by a person towards the one who is suffering. Therefore, some of the human beings are sensitive enough toward not using such medicines. They even avoid what the doctor had prescribed because they feel that its their moral obligation to behave like this.

"What if these animals begin to test medicines on human beings wherein many humans die?" is a good question.

Hence it is of course, possible to present a logical argument that feel strongly about.
