Re: What could make morality objective?
Arguments against moral objectivism 2 The logic of moral arguments For (classical) deductive validity, a conclusion cannot contain information not present in the premise or premises of an argument. Therefore, even if they are true, non-moral premises cannot entail moral conclusions. A moral conclus...

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?
False. The claim 'all humans do not torture and kill babies for pleasure' is not a moral assertion. It's a factual assertion with a truth-value. It has no moral entailment whatsoever - as neither would it's negation: 'all humans torture and kill babies for pleasure'. As ever, your insertion of a mo...

Re: Empathic
Empathy is generally a good thing. But there are nuances to the concept of empathy, i.e. blind empathy which can lead to very negative consequences. There are parents who empathize with their child for reason X but that could compromise on Y which could be negative. For example a parent may empathiz...

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?
The objectivist offers reasons why something is moral or immoral. The subjectivist offers only his own feelings. I agree with that. Moral Objectivists offer an objective moral standards [justified and verified] within a moral framework and system as ONLY a guide for all to strive for. It is merely ...

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?
If there are facts [even if there are no facts], opinions, beliefs and judgment of them do translate into real actions. So yes, to repeat: the important question is: are there moral facts - moral features of reality - so that moral assertions have factual truth-value, regardless of opinion, individ...

Re: What could make morality objective?
No. Your summary is enough to dismiss it. Or didn't you describe it correctly? In the intro for the paper Boyd wrote "It will not be my aim here to establish that moral realism is true", so... VA hasn't understood it well enough to be able to describe it correctly. Sigh. I wonder if he'll...

Re: Incest Deterrence & Morality is Objectivity
You do not have an argument. You have a delusion. If you have hope for humanity than why are you trying to do it harm? Is that you?? LOLOLOLOLOLOL Your usual when you run out of arguments. Strawman, where did 'harm' come from? I have already mentioned I adopts Kant's mission and vision, i.e. 1. Wha...

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?
Oh, I see. And we may be talking at cross purposes. My point is, if there are facts of any kind, then opinions about them are irrelevant. Iow, we can and do have our own opinions, but we can't have our own facts. For example, is physics 'subjective' in the way you say morality is? If there are fact...
