Topic | Is 'morality' subjective or objective? |
Tom_Joad 05/29/23 6:55:31 PM #12: | Some morals are objective. For example, the "Golden Rule." Every single culture, philosophy, and religion on earth has a form of it. It arose independently in every single human society on earth. Therefore, that's a pretty "objective" moral, for it doesn't change and it's universally recognized. "Fairness" is another. In that if one person does something for another and gets a reward... and another person does the same thing for the same person, but gets less of a reward, the second person gets upset. The idea of "fair play" is so objectively universal that it's even observed in the great apes. But on the other hand, there are a lot of morals out there that are purely subjective. Like not eating shellfish, for one. --- "History shows again and again that nature points out the folly of man. Go go Godzilla!" Godzilla - Blue Oyster Cult ... Copied to Clipboard! |
