A. J. Ayer's Objectivism Is More Similar To Subjectivism

Improved Essays
A. J. Ayer’s view to subjectivism is more similar to subjectivism, because he believes morals simply express feelings. What a person thinks is ethical is different to each person and is based on intuitive opinion. Something is considered right or wrong, simply because someone thinks it is. He argues that people can have contradicting views from other people. Therefore, Ayer believes that a persons’ morals or ethical judgment is neither true nor false and has no validity. One problem that Ayer has with this view is the validity of ethical judgments. Ayer believe that ethical judgment has no validity, because subjectivism “does not imply that the existence of any feelings is a necessary and sufficient condition of the validity of an ethical judgment”

    Midterm, Regan and Midgley: Understanding the Reality of Moral Judgment According to Tom Regan in “How Not to Answer Moral Questions,” moral judgment is irrelevant to the reality of moral truth. Though such judgments require understanding, justification, sound reasoning, real-world application, and independent verification, the mere existence of such judgments does not affect the truth of the matter. In “Moral Isolationism” Mary Midgley adopts a similar conclusion to Regan, though she does so through the argument of individual morality.…

    In Russ Shafer-Landau’s text, he discusses Ethical Objectivism, revealing that moral ethics are true simply by definition. He also addresses objections to Ethical Objectivism, one of which is J.L. Mackie’s Error Theory. The Error Theory maintains that since there are so many disagreements about ethics, there is no way to prove that moral ethics are true, and thus moral ethics cannot simply be true by definition as Shafer-Landau and his Ethical Objectivism theory claims they are. Mackie agrees with Objectivists about the “normativity” of ethics, however, he is adamant that there are no moral truths, and to support this claim, he uses the Argument from Relativity and the Argument from Strangeness.…

    ”(Landau175) The moral subjectivists uphold the idea that moral claims are only true, if they are objectively true. But what makes these true? Consequently what establishes their validity is the fact that they rely on subjective states of a person; states of desire, preference, or dislike. As a moral subjectivist Mackie gives two arguments for his point of view: the argument of relativity and the argument of queerness.…

    The interesting aspect of morality is how universally unbiased it is supposed to be, but yet, is still met with a debate towards what is morally correct and morally wrong. While morality is supposed to be objective, there is a subjectivity to whom those morals apply to and to whom they benefit or harm. In Chelsea Schein and Kurt Gray’s "The Theory of Dyadic Morality: Reinventing Moral Judgment by Redefining Harm,” they discussed the evolution of morality and how difficult it is to establish a clear answer on what morality is. Schein and Gray wrote, “[one] definition of moral judgment is ‘evaluations (good vs. bad) of the actions or character of a person that are made with respect to a set of virtues held to be obligatory by a culture or subculture’ (Haidt, 2001, p. 817)” (Schein and Gray 35).…

    In the last Chapter, Rachels discusses the creation of a "Satisfactory Moral Theory”, in this paper I will discuss my own creation of the Satisfactory Moral Theory. The moral theories are supposed to help us decide what are the right and wrong actions, but, not all the moral theories are perfect. We may feel that a certain conclusion to a problem is fair or unfair, but what theory do we use to make judgments?. I will start with the cultural relativism theory, to understand different cultures, There is a need to know that one community’s beliefs and practices are not usually the same as the other community. In fact, cultural relativism seems the most applicable approach to be taken on for communications purposes.…

    Because the human race is composed of diversified nations and cultures, we cannot establish a succinct, objective moral constitution because of the world’s increasing diversity. It’s difficult to dismantle what has been instilled into your mind all your life because we are constantly faced with emotional ties and personal attitudes. As Mackie stated, there will be the small few who turn against the already established rules for other moral reasons, but this act is simply an extension which arised “out of an existing way of life” (Mackie 651). This supports the idea that somehow we will always be connected to our underlying moral influences and that our individualistic biases never truly go away. Consequently, objectivity cannot be attained since humans are always linked to their thoughts, emotions and feelings which enhances the argument for…
