Hobbes and the Subjectivity of Moral Tastes

For Hobbes, "descriptions such as 'good' or 'bad' were projections of our inner sensations onto an external world, just like 'red' or 'green'. As Hobbes said, 'whatsoever is the object of any mans Appetite or Desire; that is it, which he for his parth calleth Good: And the object of his Hate, and Aversion, Evill'. If human beings could be brought to recognize the inherently subjective character of these moral descriptions, there would of course be no disagreement among them about moral matters, any more than there is disagreement about avowedly subjective questions such as the taste of foods." Richard Tuck, "Introduction" to Hobbes' Leviathan (New York: Cambridge University Press, 2002), p. xxv.
