CHAPTER 3
SUBSJECTIVISM IN ETHICS
Question 1:
Answer:
Basic assumption of ethical subjectivism ethical subjectivism believes that Morality is subjectivism as it based on our feelings.
No action “per see” is right or wrong. There is no rightness or wrongness in it. There are only feelings about an action. E.g. killing, lying etc as actions are morally neutrals.
What exists is only our positive or negative feeling about these actions. So in line of this thought Hitler’s crematoria are not morally wrong actions. The only fact is that most people feel that it is wrong and few people feel that it is right.
Another example would be homosexuality. It is not a fact that it is good or bad. Os when someone such as Samwell says homosexuality is wrong. He is not stating a fact about homosexuality. Instead he is merely saying something about his feelings toward it.
Question 2:
Answer:
a. We are accustomed by science about may providing scientific evidence. So, we expect that morality gives us also strong evidence about moral issues: if H2O=water, 2+2=4 etc why not have the same or similar way of proving that action A is right, action B is wrong etc?
In morality, though we are not allowed /able to use statistics formula, measurement, experiment, labs etc like in science. We can only use syllogism, logic, arguments, conclusions and concepts etc that lead us to find out the truthness /rightness on the falsehood or wrongness. b. Even in sciences there are plenty of issues that scientists disagree. So we may over estimate that power of scientific agreements.
