[QUOTE="stevevw, post: 76396594, member: 342064"] Like I said I am not the best at Grammar. Yes when Kylies example is used for P & Q the logic stands up yet it presents a false outcome. I see what you mean and that is what I was trying to say. Look I appreciate you spending time and helping me understand logical statements. It cuts through things and helps establish pretty quickly whether a claim stands up or not. This is part of my frustration in not being able to express things better. But as far as I understand morality is a normative system that is how one ought to act in a situation. Therefore if we are using logic then it should follow that morality is a matter of right and wrong behaviour. Therefore one can either be right or wrong. Therefore our language is going to reflect this. That is why I gave those examples like people don't get sacked for preferring Star Wars as doesnt make sense as far as preferences being like norms. We use language to express morality and as morality is a normative system its truth comes from how people really speak. We say that a immoral act is truthfully wrong because thats how we live morality to the point where we will sack people, march on parliament and begin causes to help those affected by immoral behaviour. Thats because morality matters more than preferences or feelings. Anyway thats what moral realism is, [COLOR=#00b3b3][I]Moral realism is the position that ethical sentences express propositions that refer to objective features of the world, some of which may be true to the extent that they report those features accurately.[/I][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
