Objectivism

whether morality is subjective or objective has been hotly debated for many centuries since humans often base their actions off of their personal values. Are these personal values inherent across all of mankind? Those who take the side of moral objectivism would say that this statement is true and that we share a deeply rooted ethical code no matter our background. However, moral subjectivists, such as Mackie, would disagree with this statement on the grounds that moral judgements are simply…

there is a better suited ethical theory. Which he affirms is moral objectivism, the view that there exists as least one moral principle that all societies and cultures can adhere to. Pojman attempts to prove that there is a universally valid moral principle that is binding on all rational agents and he posits that if an individual does not adhere to this principle, this individual is stupid and…

The purpose of this commentary is to recognize the superiority of mankind, and the lunar landing as a fruition of the greatness. Rand, the writer of this commentary, is the founder of objectivism, the belief that mankind is capable of being self-sustainable without the aid of others(i.g. nature). While the subject is the lunar landing, Rand also wants to advocate her beliefs. Thus, throughout the text, she stresses the importance that it is humans that made this possible, and that this…

Hello Professor and Fellow Classmate, From the answer given by the Objectivist spokesperson, I conclude that Rand would answer the same way. She believed that if a man want to live on this earth, he has to achieve his own happiness, he must not force other people nor accept their right to force him (Week 6 Lesson). She believed that we as human responsible for our own happiness, our own duties and obligation. If we want to live happily and ethically, we should seek for it ourselves instead of…

development of technology for the “good of the whole” is a sin against mankind because technology is mankind's greatest concept. Constantly improving, innovating, and developing new things is what makes man great. According to Rand’s philosophy of Objectivism, it is inherently wrong for any entity to decide how technology develops because its development is a process that happens spontaneously and…

The positivist perspective consist of three assumptions about what deviant behavior is. These assumptions are absolutism, objectivism, and determinism. Absolutism view deviance as absolutely real. Deviant people are assumed to have certain characteristics that make them different from confidential others. This basically means that certain traits are inherited, so…

concepts and it’s competences as an ethical principle to adhere to. Then evaluate Louis Pojman critique on ethical relativism and analyze does he successfully refuted relativism position. And analyze objectivism; the ethical theory which Pojman erects in the place of ethical relativism. And evaluate objectivism, check the validity of this ethical theory and review if it is a competence moral principle to live by. . But before begin we must note what are some of the must agree upon traits…

a result of the stark contrariety between these ethnic conventions, ‘ethical correctness’ comes into question when determining whether or not these customs should be tolerated in a modern globalized society. Conventional Relativism and Moderate Objectivism are two ethical schools of thought that…

Each society raised some kind of moral requirements, qualities for its members. Usually, these requirements defined as ethnics, the essence of which is to find the right answers to the “crucial moral questions “What should I do?” or “What kind of person should I become?”” . These are very practical questions that have to be answered in specific and different situations under divergent circumstances. The application of different ethical theories provides different answers for mentioning questions…

sounds rational and reasonable, but Louis Pojman, presents moral objectivism to counter Benthem’s utilitarianism. Pojman defines moral objectivism as, “the view that there are universal and objective moral principles valid for all people and social environments.” (Pojman, Louis P., and James Fieser. "Chapter 2." Ethics: Discovering Right and Wrong pg.15.) One of the objections he has to utilitarianism that I agree with is ethical objectivism; the belief or principle that there are ethical…
