There is no substitute for....
"There is no substitute for a direct concern for other people as the basis of morality. But morality is supposed to apply to everyone: and can we assume that everyone has such a concern for others? Obviously not: some people are very selfish, and even those who are not selfish may care only about the people they know, and not about everyone. So where will we find a reason that everyone has not to hurt other people, even those they don't know?"

Are "There is no substitute" and "It is irreplaceable" have the same meaning? Could I use them interchangeably?
Thanks
