Please read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objectivi ... bjectivism.Obvious Leo wrote:"Validates" according to what measurable standard?Necromancer wrote:Both, but "unethical" goes deep in that it validates the actions that are permissable.Precision of language is crucial when discussing any proposition in philosophy and objective and subjective are antonyms which have never been used as synonyms in any literature which I've ever read. Would you care to either rephrase your OP question or explain what you mean by the term "objective ethics", as you've been asked several times.Necromancer wrote:"Objective" ethics can be understood as inter-subjective yet in literature "objective" is most used.
And more to come as well. "Validates" according to a standard set of rules, namely the ethics/laws and regulations. One link to go: http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/moral ... ivism.html.
Harman, G. and Jarvis Thomson, J., 1996. Moral Relativism and Moral Objectivity, Oxford: Blackwell. There are many more. How many examples do you require, Obvious Leo?
Note: I think it's reasonable that we here equate Moral Realism with Ethical Objectivity. With this, there's another title for you (to swallow): Companions in Guilt - Arguments for Ethical Objectivity by Hallvard Lillehammer.
Note2: As you should also know, there's a great distance between subjective and inter-subjective/objective in philosophy.
