  A crude version of relativism is the simple type of subjectivism which holds that to state that an action is right or wrong is to report something about one’s own attitudes towards it. On such a view, if Jane states that meat-eating is wrong while Eric claims that it is permitted, then Jane expresses the belief that she disapproves of meat-eating while Eric expresses the belief that he does not disapprove of it. Since both those beliefs can be true, they are not incompatible. A common objection to subjectivism is that it therefore, implausibly, represents paradigm cases of moral disagreement as being merely apparent (Moore 1912, ch. 3), which illustrates how facts that have to do with moral disagreement can help a moral realist.
