In Defense of a Non-Natural Moral Order
#14
RE: In Defense of a Non-Natural Moral Order
To what extent are you comfortable blurring the lines of objectivity and subjectivity? I tend to view objectivity as an abstraction, deduced or assumed, from our subjective experience. We don't have direct access to it in the first place, because it is all filtered through our senses. In other words, we only have access to our direct conscious subjective experience.

The lines being blurred, it's also useful to treat subjective experience in a objective sense. It's objective that people see the holocaust as immortal, and in that sense it is perhaps reducible to the natural biology of brains.

Disclaimer: I'm not a philosopher so I'm probably using these terms very loosely and inaccurately, but my general argument should still be discernable.
