Moral judgments, according to this position, are statements about the subject making them and about his or her personal tastes. The second alternative is based on the conviction that morals can be, to some extent, matters of truth and falsehood, and therefore should be disputed with a view to seeking unanimity, i.e. they should be the object of rational investigation. The next requisite, in terms of a person coming to the fulness of life, is for the person to see reality in both its promise and its threat. But because a being is what it is, and is not necessarily, what each person perceives it to be, the reality p recedes and measures the seeing of it. A person has the ability to consciously reflect upon reality, and upon reality's capacity to either enhance or destroy the human person.
Moral knowledge is completed in choosing to embr ace the promise and to reject the threat.
Knowledge is prior to love, but is radically incomplete in itself. If the above reasoning is correct, there is implied in it the priority of being over truth, and the priority of truth over the good.
