My husband, John, made a great point that those (such as R.M. Hare) who asserted morality was relative/subjective were also responding to the horrors of the world wars. Hare, in fact, fought in WWII. To come to terms with the atrocity of war, Hare rejected morality, while Anscombe, Foot, Midgely, and Murdoch embraced it. But they all were responding to human evil and chaos, trying to make sense of it. R.M. Hare’s son, John Hare, was one of my most beloved professors at Yale Divinity School, and taught my favorite class -- Theological Aesthetics. He’s a brilliant philosopher/theologian in his own right.
