Ethical subjectivism is ..........
Answer: A
Ethical subjectivism is a cognitivist theory.
Simple ethical subjectivism says that a moral judgement states a fact about the speaker's attitudes: 'X is wrong' means 'I disapprove of X'. Such a statement is true or false, depending on whether the speaker really has that attitude, which makes the theory cognitivist.
Emotivism is the non-cognitivist theory that moral judgements express attitudes rather than report them, so they are neither true nor false; subjectivism is therefore not a kind of emotivism. Prescriptivism, Hare's view that moral judgements are universal prescriptions, is also non-cognitivist.
