Moral Subjectivism

Moral subjectivism is the first order normative view that everyone does what they think they should do at the moment. On examination, moral subjectivism ceases to be plausible as it is plainly a first-order view (Mackie, 648). However, in the second-order view thesis, it is quite independent under consideration. Something humorous to note is that the second-order views compete for the name “subjectivism” on the basis of moral statements and terms. Normally, what is often referred to moral subjectivism is the doctrine that, for example, “the action is right” which means that I approve the action. Referring the action as right means that the moral judgment of the speaker is equivalent to their own attitudes or feelings. According to Mackie (648),

The argument from queerness puts it clear that if objective values exist, then they would be relations of a very strange sort and of which if we are aware of them there would be some special faculty of intuition or moral perception which will be totally different from how we know everything else. According to Mackie (653), although intuition has long been out of favor, it is more important to note that the objectivist view of values commits fully to the central thesis of intuitionism.
Despite the fact that people have believed that moral problems can be solved or moral judgments can be made by just sitting and having an ethical intuition is simply a travesty of actual moral thinking. This being a real complex process requires some inputs of the distinctive sort which are either form of arguments or premises or both. One way to bring out this queerness is to have a look at Plato’s Forms that gives a dramatic picture of what objective values would be and also the argument of Hume on reason referring it to a stage of all sorts of knowing and also reasoning. Again, another way to bring out the queerness is to ask about anything that is supposed to have objective moral quality and how they are connected with their natural features. Although it may be thought that the argument from queerness is granted an unfair start if it is related to wilder products

For example, in Plato’s theory, the Forms and specifically the Form of the Good are extra-mental and external realities which is a central structural element in the fabric of the world. However, this does not mean that their existence will tell men what to do but will ensure that they do it by overruling any contrary inclinations. Again, Plato’s theory the Forms education give men knowledge of the Forms and for that reason, being acquainted with the Forms of the Good impel everyone to pursue and promote the ideals without any further motivation (Mackie, 649). For example, the philosopher kings in the Republic are trusted with unchecked power similarly as Sidgwick and Kant believe that pure reason can be itself practical and that objective existence must be an object of knowledge which should happen for all
