| I thought I was buying this 'looks like' Near Mint book from the Excited States of Americana, for a Very Fine price, but that hole cuts it down to a near worthless, for a collector, Good or Fair. I have asked the Amazon seller for a replacement. Time will tell. My deduction, in faith, is I was ripped-off unintentionally. I also paid $12 for duty to import this book into the Socialist Paradise of Canada. On the bright side I received four good quality books from Rip-off Britain today as well. A fine eBay seller, mate. I was not ripped-off in that case. |

Ethical objectivism
British philosopher, Blackburn explains this view claims ethics are objectively true. (126). These claims are not relative or subject to any human culture. (126). These are not purely subjective in nature. (126).
I agree with Blackburn that objective ethics can be true and that they are not purely subjective, but I reason there is subjective aspects in interpretation. Biblical ethics, developing within progressive revelation in textual context, I reason are objectively true, not subject to the stamp of approval of humanity or human culture. They are also interpreted subjectively to some extent.
Further, connecting my two topics. I reason ethically and objectivity I have been sold a less than good book for what I purchased it as. Again, in faith I will state, unintentionally. I also review each page when I order texts from eBay and Amazon.
