"Morality is based neither on the principle of utility, nor on a law of nature, but on human reason. But human reason can be fallible." Comment., What does morality mean to you?

Morality is the standards of behaviour, what is right conduct and wrong conduct according to a person.

From the above definition, it implies that it is an "act of human reason", because individual based on his principles makes the judgement of right and wrong conduct.

But underlying principles can be based on utility or law of nature Britishers think

e.g. moral to conquer India because they are uncivilised and "benefit" their "national prosperity"

• moral for "Lions to kill deer" not human because it's "law of nature".

Therefore morality is an act of human reason which derives its principles in addition to others like Justice, from "law of utility", "law of nature"

For me, morality is to act in accordance with principles of fairness, equality, Justice, respecting human rights, and dignity, peace and negotiations, love and compassion, on these basis I will judge morality of an action and its consequences.

I don't consider it moral if acted on selfish reason of utility, greed etc as did by Britishers.
