Topic > Theory of subjectivity: values ​​are subjective - 586

Many value judgments are subjective because they are based on personal principles. Most societies do not share the same opinions because they reflect personal preferences rather than objective facts (Pojman and Fieser). Values ​​are not universal; people do not share the same opinions or views due to the individual's life experiences that lead them to form their own opinions on certain issues. This translates into a different value compared to another person who has had a similar experience but has formed a different judgment (Ethical Subjectivism - By branch / Doctrine - The foundations of philosophy). Objectivism is a theory in which there is a set of rules that are universally valid for all people and social environments. Objectivity is based on a perspective independent of the individual's beliefs (Pojman & Fieser). “There is a great uniformity among the actions of men, in all nations and in all ages, and that human nature always remains the same, in its principles and operations,” (Pojman & Fieser) This quote states that in all 'nations and ages' the principles formed through human nature have resulted in a set of universal rules. However, values ​​are not objective, for a judgment to be supported, society must be able to relate to the vision, accept it and understand why it would be a good value to support. Where Louis P. Pojman and James Fieser (1990) write “Human beings obey these laws because they can perceive the internal reasonableness of the laws” it is stated that society obeys these universal laws because they can relate to the overall idea of ​​judgment. Even if this is true, there are still problems. Even if only a small majority of society disagrees with a certain point of view, the probability that that value will be universally held is small. ...... middle of paper ...... personal judgments and experiences compared to objective facts (Pojman & Fieser).
