Ethics, Brah: Objective and Subjective Morality (Ep. 2)

This video discusses the Ethical Philosophical Frameworks of Objective and Subjective Morality. Objective morality refers to universal moral principles that should govern all moral actions. They are called "objective" because they exist outside and independent of the human person. Subjective morals refer to a person's conception of what is moral. These personally morals are subjective because they are based on the person's perception of right and wrong. Because everything humans know and understand is based on perception, all of our views about morality are subjective. However, the goal of moral objectivists is to line up their individual subjective morals with the overall objective morals. Doing so means that the individual's subjective morals are morally correct, objectively speaking. If a person's individually held morals do not line up with the objective moral order, that person's morals are considered to be erroneous.

Moral Relativism criticizes objectivism. This perspective holds that objective morality does not exist. There is no set of universal moral principles - therefore, everyone's subjective morals should govern the person's decisions.

Moral Skepticism criticizes both moral objectivism and moral relativism. Skeptics believe the concept of morality does not really exist and that people are simply instinctually driven to live and survive. According to skeptics, humans constructed the concept of morality to that end.
