ABSTRACT
Cognition can be understood in terms of it being the underlying mental processing for our understanding of information from our experiences. This process can be predominantly objective, subjective or used in combination. As such, cognition or our thinking/underlying reasoning both directly affects and indirectly influences our moral reasoning. Given that objective, subjective, or a combination are modes of cognition or reasoning, they too affect the constructs formed in other domains. Examples are given to demonstrate these differing modes in other domains, however, for our purpose it is in the moral domain that is of interest, particularly with regard to moral subjectivity and its more extreme form of moral relativity, which subvert, in a manner of speaking, the human potential for reasoning more objectively about moral issues and development to Post-conventional moral judgment/reasoning.
