Is it true that there is no absolute morality?
RE: Is it true that there is no absolute morality?
A 6-word meaning might be concise enough, but you have to define the terms within it, since almost all of them are under dispute. You say, for example, that a sentient agent is not required for an "opinion." What opinions are there that do not depend on the concept of agency, then? Give examples.

You've said a subjective truth is "not true from every point of view." Why don't you give an example of a truth which is dependent on perspective? You've defined "objective" as "true from every point of view." Why don't you give an example of an objective truth, and explain why you think such a thing even exists?

You can say as much as you want that I'm using terms incorrectly, but you haven't established that your definitions are robust enough, or coherent enough, to provide any utility in actually talking about morality-- either moral ideas, or the capacity of some species to act based on moral ideas. I'd like you to get out of the online dictionary and actually immerse yourself into the real-world implications of morality in human beings.
