Johannes, "Contact" sounds dreadful... Anyway, while it is true to say that to the victor belongs the spoils, including the ability to impose his definitions, that is still not the same as saying that Might Makes Right. Nor is the fact that there are moral disagreements a sufficient rebuttal of the objectivity of some judgments. If Might really made Right, than there would be no basis for criticizing any fait accompli, and therefore no dynamic for reform. The assertion of "right" involves the expectation of acquiescence. Slavery would still flourish if that were the case...Suppose that someone with little knowledge tells me a nonsensical version of Descartes philosophy. Is the fact that an doofus can garble something in a confident tone of voice supposed to lead me to acknowledge the equal validity of an uninformed view to an informed view? Even if an informed opinion can be wrong sometimes, it is still better than an uninformed opinion, which is right only by accident. That is all of the objectivity needed...
