Who agrees that liberal morality is more objective but less absolute whereas conservative morality is more subjective but less relative? How? Why? My answer: I agree with myself because liberal morality is based on harm avoidance and reciprocity, with lesser attention to authority, purity, and in-group loyalty. Whereas conservative morality equally emphasizes harm avoidance, reciprocity, authority, purity, and in-group loyalty. Thus symmetry is more important to liberal morality by the higher emphasis on harm avoidance and reciprocity. While in conservative morality, symmetry is less important than order. Thus conservatives prefer injustice to disorder. And liberals prefer disorder to injustice. Within both schools of thought, is either humanism or some obligation rooted in putting humanity first or the politics would not be popular enough. Thus the importance of the philosophical justification, all humans are made in God’s image.
