摘要
The above quote suggests that a morality which consists simply of the two love commandments constitutes or summarizes the whole of morality. Call such a morality "the Rule". In this paper, I address two challenges to the claim that the Rule is complete. The first challenge claims that the Rule is incomplete because it lacks a value theory. I respond by showing that the Rule implies a God-centered value theory that Robert Adams defends. The second challenge claims that the Rule does not have the resources to resolve conflicts. I argue that the Rule implies a variant on the "Veil of Ignorance" strategy made famous by Rawls.
