QUESTIONS.
enoch claims that moral dilberation and the phenomnelogy of disagreement test fall
more on the objective side of matters, ex being how a disagreement about abortion
feels more like a disagreement about global warming , which as we know feels to be
pointing toward objective facts. -ANSWER
the counterfactual test is basically a test about the differences in cirumcumstances
and how we would behave in different said crircumstances. this test does not apply
to objective facts such as smoking causing cancer. can apply to situations such as
gender based discrimination asking the question if everyone belelived in gender
based discirmantion would that make it right in comparison to how everyone believes
top hats to be out of fashion ( depending on the society and what it believes or a
more subjective view
) rather than the nondeniable objective fact of smoking causing cancer. If you are
able to insert an argument and the circumstances be different, the subject is not
objective but merely subjective. -ANSWER
morality can be objective if the facts are able to exist independently, moral truths
being response independent fits well with the understanding of enochs three tests.

facts, not create them. -ANSWER

epistemology of the 'apriori' -ANSWER

says that areas of inquiry are not based on experience but reasoning. enoch
believes that ethical truths would be apriori similar to mathematical truths. basically
they would just exist factually and we would then learn them. enoch truly believes
that if there is moral knowledge it would come to us apriori , the concept being
independent. we would NOT have this knowledge by some moral perception, or by
empirical observation or justification. -ANSWER
enoch believes that we all get to decide what to believe in moral matters, but our
decision does not make a moral view true or false. -ANSWER
