Title: Subjectivism in Ethics


1
Subjectivism in Ethics
  • Ethical subjectivism is the idea that moral
    opinions are based on our feelings and nothing
    more. On this view, there is no such thing as
    objective right and wrong.

  • It is a fact that the Nazis exterminated millions
    of innocent people but according to Ethical
    Subjectivism, .it is not a fact that what they
    did was evil. When we say their actions were evil
    we are only saying that we have only negative
    feelings towards them. The same applies to any
    moral judgment whatever.

  • People different opinions, but where morality is
    concerned there is no facts
  • And no one is right, people just feel
    differently, and thats the end of it.
  • But this contradicts the plain fact that no one
    of is infallible. We are some times wrong.
    Therefore, simple subjectivism cannot be correct.
