Select ALL claims Lewis uses to distinguish the Moral Law from instinct.

### Why this is right - **It can judge between competing impulses.** Lewis treats moral judgment as distinct from the impulses it evaluates. - **It may tell someone to strengthen a weaker impulse.** A person may feel a stronger desire for safety but judge that helping someone in danger is the right action. - **No single impulse is always the morally correct one.** An impulse such as affection or patriotism may need restraint when it produces unfairness. ### The concept Instincts are motivations; the Moral Law is the standard that assesses them. If morality were just one instinct, it could not stand back from competing desires and decide which should prevail. Lewis also notes that people sometimes deliberately cultivate a neglected impulse because they judge that it ought to guide their conduct. ### The other options - **B. It always agrees with the strongest impulse.**: Lewis says moral judgment can oppose the stronger desire. - **E. It is identical to the desire to help other people.**: A desire to help may be an instinct; the moral rule evaluates it and other impulses. ### Terms - **Instinct**: An unreflective desire or tendency to act. ### Remember The fact that you want to act is different from judging that you ought to act.
