Answer to Question #246312 in Philosophy for Angelie Suarez

Question

Are ethical subjectivism and emotivism plausible for standards of

morality? Justify your answer.

Answer 1

No. Ethical subjectivism and emotivism neither accept any specific moral norms. They are not systems that define or promote a clear moral or ideological stance, nor do they rationale for ethical standards. The reason for this is that they are metaethical ideas, not moral systems. They are not arguments for any particular set of moral norms; they are ideas about morality's actual nature and genesis.
