Abstract:
|
"There are few scholars today who are challenging the notion 'nothing is objectively right or wrong because nothing objectively matters,' one such scholar is Thomas Nagel; we will pursue in this essay a keener understanding of the possibilities of ethical objectivity in the face of the popularity of the position mentioned above (often understood as 'nihilism'). We will attempt to articulate Nagel's alternative, a 'view from nowhere,' as a way out of the rather relativistic and reductionistic tendencies of moral philosophies today."
