Transcript
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 that’s the end of it. But this contradicts the plain fact that no one is infallible. We are some times wrong. Therefore, simple subjectivism cannot be correct.
