What do you mean by moral subjectivism ?

  • A.Individual views on morality
  • B.Society's views on morality
  • C.People's attitudes and opinions
  • D.None of the above

Answer: A

Moral subjectivism means that morality rests on individual views on morality.

The subjectivist holds that moral judgments report or express the attitudes of the individual who makes them: 'X is wrong' is true, if at all, relative to the speaker's own approval or disapproval. There is no moral fact beyond the individual's view.

Making morality depend on society's views is cultural relativism or conventionalism, a different theory. 'People's attitudes and opinions' taken collectively describes the same social view rather than the individual standpoint, and since option A is correct, 'none of the above' is wrong.
