Unlike most on the list (as far as I can work out), I am an ethical
subjectivist. I think we are *ultimately* driven back to our own
commitments, values, etc. This list seems to be dominated by ethical
realists and natural lawyers (I am a legal positivist), positions which I
find puzzling and wildly metaphysical.

In any event, you can be an ethical subjectivist without being a relativist
(most forms of relativism seem to be internally inconsistent). Would you
like to elaborate any further on your views?
