'True' and 'False' in Ethics

[sharaf_...@yahoo.com]

True" and "False" is easier to determine in science than in ethics. If
we disagree on the color of snow, whether white or red, then it is
easy to reach to the correct unique answer (i.e., White) by showing
snow physically, which brings down any dispute.

This simplistic solution is difficult to reach in ethics. Dispute
about meta-physical, intangible issues is difficult to settle. Can I
say -and gurantee the correctness of my saying- something is "good"
and something is "bad" or something is true and something is false, or
something is virtue and something is vice? Can I raise my voice saying
something is "just" and something is "injustice"?

Plat in his Republic has a simple solution to this ethical problem.
State dictates what is just and what is unjust, what is good and what
is evil. Utopian state of Plato says: "one woman can be shared by many
men" and it becomes -without questioning- just.
