objective moral & principles......

Posted: Sep 15, 2003 Mon 01:47 am     Views: 24   

Moral skepticism is situation when we do not have knowledge or justification for believing in objective moral principles. Moral skepticism does not involve the rejection of moral values themselves, but simply the denial that we have knowledge of an objective realm of morals. You can argue that moral vlaues are similar to aesthetic judgements.
Our allegedly objective moral beliefs do not appear to shape our cultural. INstead, it appears that it is our culture which shapes oru particular moral beliefs, beliefs such as monogamy. We can say that our particular moral beliefs become distorted as we try to perceive objective value through our diverse cultures.
However, even if values are not objective, this does not mean that morality is useless, people emphasize the importance of creating moral guidelines which regulate the actions of ourselves and others.
