The Disagreement Problem
Captions available
The idea
The disagreement problem: if moral claims only report feelings, two people who seem to disagree morally are both right—and never actually disagree.
In practice
"Capital punishment is wrong." "It is not." On subjectivism: "I disapprove," "I approve"—two compatible autobiography entries, no dispute anywhere.
