Critiques of Moral Realism Kicking their own Ass

Post by Veritas Aequitas »

Ontological Philosophical realism and ontological moral realism are similar philosophical stance that both claim objects, things, facts are objective and independent of personal opinions and beliefs.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophical_realism
In metaphysics, realism about a given object is the view that this object exists in reality independently of our conceptual scheme. In philosophical terms, these objects are ontologically independent of someone's conceptual scheme, perceptions, linguistic practices, beliefs, etc.
Realism can also be a view about the nature of reality in general, where it claims that the world exists independent of the mind, as opposed to non-realist views.

Moral realism (also ethical realism or moral Platonism)[1] is the position that ethical sentences express propositions that refer to objective features of the world (that is, features independent of subjective opinion), some of which may be true to the extent that they report those features accurately.
