Objectivism in Ethics

Objectivism in ethics is the belief that moral truths exist independently of individual feelings or societal norms. This perspective aligns with moral realism, which asserts that some actions are objectively right or wrong, regardless of personal beliefs. In contrast, moral anti-realism suggests that moral values are subjective and vary between individuals or cultures. Objectivism holds that ethical standards are grounded in reality and can be understood through reason, advocating for rational self-interest and the pursuit of individual happiness as the moral ideal.
