Does happiness exist? Anger?
Just because there is no universal truth or objective based parameters on what constitutes right and wrong does not mean that morality does not exist.
This definition exists objectively
"a particular system of values and principles of conduct."
I'm sorry but trying to claim that because morality cannot be described objectively it does not exist is erroneous philosophical crap.
Subjectively.
Or are you a philosophical zombie?
So.. does anger exist? According to your rules of reality.. No. It doesn't. Even if you are displaying signs of feeling it right now.

Then, you again-
Don't get me wrong, I believe that right and wrong do exist,
What the hell are you going on about then?
Why are you arguing a point you don't believe in?
Those are all matters of faith.Nothing is absolute, and honestly, just believing that what you experience is "real" - takes a good bit of faith.
But you don't believe in objectivity at as far as I can tell from this post![]()
DL why do you always resort to YouTube links as some kind if triumphant parting gesture? Can't you argue your case independently? You may find this argument trivial but it does get a little grating after a while
Ahh, I can see why. By "Nothing is absolute", I meant "We know nothing in the absolute". I was not saying that nothing exists in actuality, but rather, we cannot prove that something exists in actuality.
Richard Mooner said:I am arguing that if morality does not exist objectively, it does not exist at all.
LOL.
Do not take that attitude and stand on the highway my friend.
I think you will find a lot of actual cars that exist.
If you need a lot of proof, step in front of one.
Sure, cars exist when he stands in front of one, but if he isn't?![]()
To further clarify, part of the rationale underlying my lengthy post was to challenge the division between the subject and object, as both intertwine in the unified social process through which subjects and objects are produced, emergent intetsibjectvity serving as the glue that scaffolds together subject and object in terms of unified frameworks of meaning.

I'm actually literate, honest!
But yes, that's intersubjectivity.
