Rodrigo Díaz explores whether moral beliefs drive our actions or if it is our feelings that prevail when faced with moral dilemmas. He emphasizes that understanding motivations behind moral behavior is complex.
Díaz addresses a classic example: a father refraining from punishing his daughter, reflecting on whether he is driven by a moral belief against violence or simply by his own aversion to causing harm.
Drawing on David Hume's perspective, Díaz states, "Reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions," suggesting that emotional responses might be the primary motivators of moral actions.
