OT: Objective moral truth

[President_Elect_Shang]

I want to come back to this when I have more time to really read and think about not only the question but the answers given thus far. Until then my response comes from an Anthropological view point.

Ethics and morals and the way they are defined vary from one culture to the next. What may hold true for Western may not for Tibetan; an example is the practice of polyandry. So with that you must first decide if the question is from an ethnocentric view point or not. If you think about this it makes the whole concept Sir Ross was proposing improbable. If you are looking from it ethnocentrically than you are assuming your culture will dominate the world which is clearly too speculative. If you are not looking at the question ethnocentrically than it is not possible to fathom what culture will come to dominate the world if any one culture ever can.

So is there a “moral truth” and “is it attainable”? No there is not and no it can not be attainable as there will not be one homogonous world culture. Sir Ross wrote his book in what, the early 20th century when the Colonialism culture was still the prevalent mindset.

Edited to replace the word “impossible” with the word “improbable”.
