Subjective Morality?

[bennyboy]

When I experience the feeling, it is subjective, by definition. Because I am a subject. When I reflect on the feeling, or tell others about it, or discuss whether it was appropriate, it is objective, because it is an object of contemplation. I don't think this really does away with the topic of whether a given thing is moral or not.

"I like chocolate because of its buttery texture" is a sentence which I can read. In that sense, it's objective. But that's not a very good way to look at morality. The question is whether there are some things which are moral without regard to the subjective preferences of a thinking, feeling agent. There are not, nor could be, unless you want to argue for God.

The point is to establish where mores come from, not what they are as they are being spoken or read.
