Bias Colors Philosophical Thought

Philosophers often fill in the gaps of their reasoning with rationalizations that are influenced by their personalities and biases. This tendency is not limited to philosophers but extends to anyone choosing a moral approach, which reflects personal biases. Nietzsche critiques figures like Immanuel Kant, suggesting that Kant's efforts to establish an objective morality were largely shaped by his background, particularly his exposure to Christian ethics. This criticism highlights a broader phenomenon where contemporary philosophers attempting to define objective morality may inadvertently project their own biases, rather than uncovering universal truths.
