Thread Name: BS: Ethics
Subject: RE: BS: Ethics
The problem with purely subjective morality is that it provides no way in which people can agree on morality, excepting expedience. If all morality is subjective, it is no more wrong for me to kill someone than for me to eat yogurt, should I not have any more moral compunctions regarding one than the other. This strikes me as a flimsy way to build a societal contract.
