Human is rational therefore human is a moral agent
Morality is about the rightness of an action in a situation. Remove rationality from a human and find out what is left just feeling that cannot distinguish between right and wrong, welcome to the animals' world. Therefore, morality has to do with rational agents only.

Humans are animals, and we're not the only animals to appear to have dispositions that amount to morality.

The reason that we are not morally developed well yet is that the right reason was not provided to people. We were not educated well. We are not evolved well too.Terrapin Station wrote: ↑Thu Feb 11, 2021 2:07 pm Humans are animals, and we're not the only animals to appear to have dispositions that amount to morality.
