Morality at its best depends on our
{ 1 } - ears and mouth (dialogue with others).
{ 2 } - heart (our desires, including altruism).
{ 3 } - right brain (imagination, especially empathy).
{ 4 } - hands and feet (moral action).
{ 5 } - soul (religious motivation).
{ 6 } - left brain (formal consistency, including the golden rule).
{ 7 } - eyes (empirical knowledge).
{ 8 } - all of the above (and probably a few more things too).

Approaches that make morality depend on just one thing (such as feeling, thinking, empirical knowledge, religion, or formal principles) oversimplify. Morality ideally involves various "parts" of the self working together.

8 is correct!

{ 1 } - ears and mouth (dialogue with others).
{ 2 } - heart (our desires, including altruism).
{ 3 } - right brain (imagination, especially empathy).

My special contribution is to clarify the formal consistency part. This part is critical in nature and filters out inconsistencies. For the output of the filter to be of high value, the inputs (knowledge, imagination, desires) have to be of high value; otherwise, we have "junk in and junk out."
