Is morality objective or subjective?

[bennyboy]

There may be in some sense (given some shared set of assumptions) but what difference does that make if it isn't binding or even obvious to everyone?

Personally, I think there's a very important difference. People tend not to really accept the degree to which their animal instincts and capabilities limit them, and this certainly extends to morality-- its existence as a faculty, and the moral ideas which people make.

Here's an example-- the demonization of males who cheat. The idea-- that people don't like being cheated on, and that cheating is a dick thing to do-- is fair enough, and very few people would argue against it. However, the animal reality is that the brain does all kinds of complicated things to arrive at a reproductive moment.

I don't think you can have justice without the instincts that go into a moral sense, since it is feelings that allow us to establish value statements about situations.
