What exactly is a 'justification'? Like what is the expected response to someone asking "What's your justification for your moral framework?"
I keep hearing conversations regarding this line of thinking but I'm never sure what it means. For example, the conversation will usually go like Person A: "What's your moral framework?" Person B: "Utilitarianism" Person A: "Could you please provide your justification for utilitarianism?" To which Person B, in my personal experience, is never really sure how to answer.
Like would Kant's categorical imperative or universalism be an apt justification for moral absolutism, or not?
Thank you in advance for all help!
