Are there different moral fact for individuals, or are there the same physical facts, which they are feeding through different instances of subjective agency, thereby producing varying results?
-all moral positions can agree on the fact that human beings are necessarily subjective agents. This practically ensures that even if morality were a sign on the side of the road, somebody..somewhere, would disagree with somebody else about what it says.
Nevertheless, we insist that it is at least possible for a person, who is a necessarily subjective agent, to be in possession of a fact, and to be able to use systems like reason or the scientific process to further reduce the likelihood of error and make true and accurate statements. Obviously, even that won't be compelling to everyone, see our many creationist threads.
