[edit] compatibility of subjectivism with "absolutism" and "relativism"
In contemporary parlance, shouldn't the point be made this way: subjectivism as a metaethical doctrine is neutral between particularism and generalism, or perhaps between contextualism and absolutism? I realize that Brandt uses the term "relativism" to mean "contextualism" in the quoted source, and the sense of "relativism" is clearly defined (more or less) in the current Wikipedia article, but "relativism" just seems like the wrong term to use here, especially since this is not the sense of relativism that dominates the Wikipedia article on moral relativism. -- SCPhilosopher 20:26, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
I'm taking out the reference to Jack Bauer; he's clearly more of a extreme anti-deontological consequentialist, not a subjectivist, so the reference is misleading. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.230.88.80 (talk) 02:03, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
