Subjective Morality?

[The Grand Nudger]

Thanks for that clarification.  It's useful to see the contrast.

Does this mean that 'Objectivism' and 'Realism' can be used synonymously and if not, what's the difference?

Cheers.

In context of moral theory, yes..just as in so many other contexts. Calling something "objectively real" is a bit redundant, eh?

---

Subjectivism contends that moral facts are an expression of states of belief, which are sometimes true, that are constituted by human opinion.  Every true statement about a personally held opinion is the relevant fact to a moral subjectivist - ergo the moral fact, or moral fact of the matter.  There probably are a gazillion of them. 

If you don't mind, I'd like to start with one objective moral fact, and move on from there.  I don't need a gazillion, just one.  I'm still pretty cozy with my view of morality-- that it is predicated mainly on our feelings about things, and that feelings about things are highly subjective.

 
Why is that wrong?

It's not intrinsically wrong.  It's one of the emotional positions people take.  People don't like it when they follow rules, and other people disregard them.  So they say, "Not following the rules of the road is wrong."

Is that a fact?

In any case...I don't think you've really plumbed the depths of deontology with that statement about the nature of rules as you see them. In point of fact, I think it's ridiculously ignorant.

Are you objecting in good faith? Is that really why people say that not following the rules of the road is wrong..because people don't like it when folks don't follow them? Just last post you mumbled something about endangering the public.........
