Moral Objectivism and Moral Utilitarianism

Abstract

Morality is the standard that can guide and restrict the behaviors of people, and it has played an important role during the past centuries. Two questions remain unsolved by philosophers. The first problem is the existence of objective morality and if there is such an objective morality, the other problem is the content of morality. It is important to discuss these problems because they can play a significant role in helping people understand and develop the right morality. For these two problems, the author aims to argue that moral objectivism and moral utilitarianism are true. For objectivism, the author will argue the problem of lacking such an objective morality. For utilitarianism, the author will explain its meaning, argue against several objections, and present its application in his personal life. This paper argues that moral objectivism and utilitarianism are true.
