What I actually mean is something like the following: something is objective if its existence does not depend on its perception or representation by something(like a mind) other than itself. Maybe you could find a loophole in this definition to do with the definition of things like space, but I would then have to modify the definition; I’d have to think about it in more depth to give a definition I was confident reflected my internal sense of what the word means.
I would say morality is the area pertaining to the extent to which different things are good or bad, which I would themselves define in terms of pleasure and pain; I would then claim that pleasure and pain cannot easily be defined without reference to examples of them.
