question 2 (mandatory) (1 point)
emotivists can admit that edmund kemper murdered and dismembered six young women before killing and decapitating his mother, but they cannot say that kemper’s actions were
a) objectively wrong.
b) intentionally inflicted.
c) disgusting or appalling.

Explanation:

Emotivism frames moral statements as emotional expressions, not truth-apt claims. Subjective relativism holds moral judgments are true relative to an individual's beliefs. A key difference is that emotivism argues moral "disagreements" are just conflicting feelings, not disputes over true/false beliefs, meaning we cannot have genuine disagreements about moral beliefs in the sense of conflicting truth claims. The other options either apply to both views or do not capture the core distinction.

Emotivism rejects objective moral truth, holding moral language only expresses feelings. So emotivists cannot label actions "objectively wrong" (that would accept objective moral facts). They can only express emotional reactions like disgust, or note the actions were intentional, but not assert objective wrongness.

Answer:

a) We are not able to have disagreements about our moral beliefs.
