Stephen Hicks – Can moral claims be objective?

6 thoughts on “Stephen Hicks – Can moral claims be objective?”

1. Moral standards must be based in objective rationality, but this only works up to the point that circumstances force a subjective choice, such as the paradox of which person to save from a fire, for example.

2. My 2¢: Objectivism strikes me as far, far too "tidy"; that said, its opposite—postmodernism—strikes me as far and away too "untidy" – all that said, although I'm pretty darn sure that objectivism isn't true, it's very likely very much closer to the truth than postmodernism is.

3. where can I locate the entire video?

4. I thought Morals was greater than pain or pleasure. Like doing the right thing. Everyone likes to procreate but then we have responsibilities. If I was a millionaire, would that make it right to do as I please because I can afford to do everything that I want according i'm obeying the laws. Is morality just to exploit pleasure and avoid pain. If this is true, I do not want morality. I want justice, balance, equality. I wouldn't like a person that was moral because of selfishness, vanity, or superiority. I would despise this moral being. I wouldn't like this moral being because everything that is good is because of his pleasure and no one else.

5. It's still subjective.

6. Fuck postmodernism
