"In philosophy of mind, which view denies that the mental and the physical are two fundamentally different things?"

Too vague. Many answers satisfy this. Materialism/physicalism can also be the right answer.

But you can use it in plural too, because a moral law should, according to Kant, always be a categorical imperative. If you have multiple situations to which the imperative applys then they are all thecnically cathegorical imperatives. I do agree that it's cofusing here tho, because the question is "what is" and not "what are"
