My view is that ethics is subjective, it boils down to how people feel. They often have various ethical systems and rules built on those feelings (or on axioms which feel right).
- mcguire 4y agoThat is true of all of philosophy (he says, at the risk of his Junior Philosopher's Secret Decoder Ring). The interesting part is the systems you build (hopefully using logic) around it.
- RivieraKid 4y agoI wouldn't even call it philosophy. It's more psychology or anthropology because you're studying emotional responses of the human species. If a serial killer feels that killing for fun is morally right and builds an ethical system on top of those feelings, is that philosophy?
