Objective morality: how would it affect your judgement/actions?
#22
RE: Objective morality: how would it affect your judgement/actions?
Morality cannot be objective because it is not something that is absolute but instead something that is in a constant state of evolution so it can only be subjective or inter subjective. Nothing else. As society progresses it creates new moral dilemmas which by virtue of being so will have no frame of reference for them. And it will essentially be starting from nothing. Future generations will have to address moral
issues which dont even currently exist. Even if objective morality did exist as a general principle it could be interpreted fundamentally different from within such a constraint with regard to specific examples Extreme arguments used to justify objective morality are nothing more than arguments from emotion. They fail because in order for objective morality to be true it has to be so for all examples not just the
most extreme. Also those who think objective morality is true would have to explain why their own morality is not absolute but actually evolves over time as they acquire new knowledge and life experience
