The philosophical methods of moral reasoning suggest that once we have ascertained the facts, we should ask ourselves certain questions when trying to resolve a moral issue. which of the following is not one of those questions? a. which course of action maximizes my net benefits? b. which course of action develops moral virtues? c. which course of action advances the common good? d. what benefits and what harms will each course of action produce and which alternative will lead to the best overall consequences?

The answer is: A) Which course of action maximizes my net benefits.

Explanation:

Traditional way of reasoning (or practical reasoning) varies from moral reasoning in that they aim to maximize one’s happiness while moral reasoning aims a maximizing everyone´s happiness (the community, country or humankind as a whole).

Maximizing my net profits would be an example of maximizing my own happiness. Therefore it should be considered practical reasoning. That doesn´t mean it is bad or unmoral, it is selfish but there is nothing wrong with it. It just doesn´t aim at maximizing everyone´s happiness.
