چکیده
Subjectivism in Ethics Take any action allowʹd to be vicious: Wilful murder, for instance. Examine it in all lights, and see if you can find that matter of fact, or real existence, which you call vice. . . You can never find it, till you turn your reflexion into your own breast, and find a sentiment of disapprobation, which arises in you, toward this action. Here is a matter of fact; but ʹtis the object of feeling, not reason. David Hume, A Treatise of Human Nature (1740) 1. The Basic Idea of Ethical Subjectivism

متن کاملThe Value of a Rose: Rising above Objectivism and Subjectivism
After my conclusion in the previous PrimaVera working paper that objectivism does not provide a firm theoretical foundation for information management, the question probed in this chapter is whether or not subjectivism can offer a convincing alternative basis.
