What is a Moral Issue? What is the Distinction Between Moral Actions and Nonmoral Actions? Abstract: A working definition of an issue of moral concern is presented as any issue with the potential to help or harm anyone, including oneself. I. Hypothesis 1: Moral issues are those which involve a difference of belief and not a matter of preference. A. On this hypothesis, a moral dispute would involve a factual disagreement (or a disagreement in belief) where one or the other or neither belief is correct. It would not involve a disagreement in attitude (or a disagreement in feeling). On this view, examples of a moral issue would include whether it is right that one speaks truthfully in a particular circumstance or whether one obeys the law in a particular circumstance, as these issues as the rightness or wrongness of the action are assumed to be factually determinable through empirical inquiry.
