 The subjectivist allows that we do normally take colors, sounds, and smells to be properties of things existing outside of us; similarly, we take right and wrong, vice and virtue, to be properties of actions and agents. In both cases, the sentimentalist claims, we are mistaken, and in virtue of a similar mechanism in each case. We project the contents of the mind on to reality; or, as Hume rather charmingly puts it (1739–40, 167; 1.3.14), the mind has a tendency to “spread itself on external objects”. In both cases, reflection shows that, contrary to the way they are presented in experience, these features in fact have no existence outside the mind. If we can be mistaken in the case of secondary qualities, we can equally be mistaken in the case of moral qualities, so the moral phenomenology to which Price appeals is no more decisive in the one case than the other. Since Price accepts the subjective account of secondary qualities, he would seem to be vulnerable to this riposte.
