This is perhaps the main reason why the scientific rejection of dualism may be so hard to swallow: it seems to diminish the moral status of people. If we are to accept scientific facts, we need to construct morality on a new foundation, one without souls.
这可能就是为什么对两元论的科学拒绝让人如此难以接受的原因：它似乎贬低了人类的道德地位。如果我们要接受科学的事实，我们就需要在一个新的，没有灵魂的基础上建立道德。
