Ethical Subjectivism
Did you ever hear about Ethical Subjectivism? What is your position about this definition?
| QUOTE |
| Ethical subjectivism is the meta-ethical belief that all ethical sentences reduce to factual statements about the attitudes of individuals.[1] It stands in contrast to ethical objectivism, under which ethical statements are independent of personal attitudes. It is a form of moral relativism in the sense that the truth of moral claims is relative to the attitudes of individuals[2]. It is comptatible with moral absolutism, in that an individual can hold certain of his moral precepts to apply regardless of circumstances. [3]. Ethical subjectivism is also compatible with "relativism" when that is taken to mean the opposite of absolutism, that is, as the claim that moral precepts should be adjusted to circumstances. |
