Q:
What does Many moral philosophers believe that the dichotomy from the Intro course is drawn too sharply. mean?
A:
A dichotomy is a division into two. I'm guessing the dichotomy being referred to here (though it's actually not clear from context) is between deontology and a competing metaethical theory, probably utilitarianism. In introductory ethics courses, these might be taught as two rival approaches that have little in common with each other. The sentence in question is trying to show that many moral philosophers think that these two systems are not so different after all. This point is expanded on and elaborated in the very next sentence, which shows that deontological principles contribute to an aim that utilitarians support, namely providing the greatest happiness to the most people.

Q:
Which philosopher do you most admire in your country? And what he/she did?
A:
"Which philosopher(s) do you admire most from your country, and what did he/she do?" would sound more natural.
Adding an s to philosopher is the difference in single or plural, one philosopher, or multiple philosophers.
"in your country" is fine, and would include foreign philosophers that might happen to be currently residing in your country. More likely "from your country" is what you mean though.
You shouldn't start sentences with "And".
"What did he do", is the proper way to ask what he/she did to gain notoriety.

Try to substitute "human beings'" instead to make it plural or more generalized. Also "worth" is singular so use "there is" instead. Good job :)
