The ethical subjectivist claims that your believing that something is right makes it right for you.

Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)


True

The ethical subjectivist not only claims that people have different moral beliefs, but that because people have different moral beliefs, what people morally ought to do differs as well. According to the ethical subjectivist, believing a moral claim makes it true for the believer. For instance, if you believe that it is wrong to eat animals, then it is wrong for you to eat animals. And if I believe that it is acceptable to eat animals, then it is acceptable for me to eat animals.
