objectivity in ethics

Objectivity in ethics refers to the idea that moral truths and values exist independently of individual opinions or feelings. It suggests that some actions are inherently right or wrong, regardless of personal beliefs or cultural differences. For example, many people agree that causing unnecessary harm is wrong, suggesting an objective standard. Objectivity aims to anchor ethical discussions in facts or universal principles, rather than subjective preferences, allowing for more consistent and rational debates about what we ought to do in moral situations.
