Is morality objective or subjective?

in philosophy •  8 years ago 

neither. ascribing 'right' and 'wrong' can never reflect true propositions. engaging in the practice of moral language introduces confusion to communication and thought.

Do we have good and evil in the society?

some people use these words to describe feelings or positions they hold, where they could find an accurate way to simply say they dont like something or oppose it. the part where you say 'in the society' i find interesting... would it be the same question w/o the society part? just curious

Tell me about murder, rape, fraud, robbery. Are they seen from a feelings standpoint?

murder is a legal term defined (roughly) as taking life protected by law. not all life is protected by law. there is a difference between illegal and immoral!
