Plato argued that our reason is the ultimate arbiter of morality and that our emotions and desires are not determining factors in determining what is right or wrong, good or bad. Hume, on the other hand, wrote that “the rules of morality are not the conclusion of our reason. · Reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions, and can never pretend to any other.” What does Hume mean by this quote? What does he think the roles of reason and passions are in determining what is right or wrong? Which view resonates with you and why?
