According to Hare,

    { 1 } - we are free to form our own moral views.
    { 2 } - forming our moral views ought to be a rational activity.
    { 3 } - both of the above.
    { 4 } - none of the above.

1 is wrong. Please try again.

According to Hare,

We have to think out moral questions for ourselves. The facts alone don't give us the answers; and to blindly copy the views of others would compromise our freedom as moral agents.

But the rationality element is also important.

2 is wrong. Please try again.

According to Hare,

    { 1 } - we are free to form our own moral views.
    { 2 } - forming our moral views ought to be a rational activity.
    { 3 } - both of the above.
    { 4 } - none of the above.

Moral questions are important, and answering them should engage our rational powers to the limit.

But the freedom element is also important.

3 is correct!

According to Hare,

    { 1 } - we are free to form our own moral views.
    { 2 } - forming our moral views ought to be a rational activity.
    { 3 } - both of the above.
    { 4 } - none of the above.

Hare thinks that views like naturalism neglect freedom, while views like emotivism neglect rationality.

Hare tries to show that the two aspects are compatible -- that we can be both free and rational in our moral thinking.

So Hare called his book "Un-Freedom and Un-Reason"?
