As a form of moral relativism, subjectivism

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The prompt asks us to consider the statement in question and evaluate each answer choice.
Option 1: 'is consistent with the phenomenon of moral disagreement.' This can be argued as true, since if moral truths depend on individual attitudes (subjectivism), people will naturally disagree about moral claims because their personal viewpoints differ. However, consistency with disagreement is not the strongest or most direct description of subjectivism itself; it describes a consequence rather than the core claim.
Option 2: 'holds that moral truth varies from person to person.' This is the central claim of moral subjectivism and a standard rendering of moral relativism in which moral judgments are expressions of individual attitudes or beliefs rather than objective facts independent of anyone’s views. This option directly captures the essence of subjectivism.
Option 3: 'recognizes at least a few universal moral truths.' This contradicts subjectivism, which denies universal moral truths that hold across all individuals. If there were universal truths, morality would be more objective or cultural relativism would apply, not subjectivism.
Option 4: 'holds that moral truth can be explored by science.' While science can investigate how people think about morality or how cultural norms influence behavior, subjectivism itself does not posit that moral truths are discoverable by scientific methods. It treats moral judgments as expressions of personal attitudes, not as empirically verifiable facts about the world. Therefore this statement mischaracterizes the epistemic basis of subjectivism.
In summary, while option 1 highlights a possible consequence of subjectivism, option 2 accurately states the core definition of moral subjectivism. Options 3 and 4 describe views that clash with subjectivist assumptions about moral truths.
