        This paper argues that although Dworkin's aim of developing a more practical understanding of moral truth is plausible, his attempt to do that while keeping the concept of moral objectivity remains deeply problematic. Because of its opposition to everything subjective, moral objectivity stands in an inherent conflict with the practical reality that we experience as persons from a first-person perspective; therefore, Dworkin's attempt to reconceptualize moral objectivity from within a first-person perspective is inherently contradictory. The paper suggests that we should go one step further than Dworkin and give up the concept of moral objectivity altogether. A notion of moral certainty instead of moral objectivity would satisfy Dworkin's intention of finding a practical conception of moral truth more adequately. A brief preliminary conception of it is developed while invoking the German philosopher Robert Spaemann's ontology of a person.
        Straipsnyje siekiama įrodyti, kad nors Dworkino pastanga rasti labiau praktinę patirtį atliepiantį moralinės tiesos supratimą yra pagrįsta, jo tikslas tokį supratimą plėtoti pasiliekant moralės objektyvumo sąvoką yra problemiškas. Straipsnio tikslas - įrodyti, kad reikėtų žengti vienu žingsniu toliau nei Dworkinas ir atsisakyti pačios moralės objektyvumo sąvokos. Kadangi moralės objektyvumas pačia savo samprata oponuoja bet kokiam subjektyvumui, jis yra vidujai nesuderinamas su tokia praktinės tikrovės patirtimi, kokią mes turime kaip asmenys iš pirmojo asmens, subjektiškos, pozicijos. Kitaip tariant, Dworkino siekis peraiškinti moralės objektyvumą kaip kylantį iš pirmojo asmens perspektyvos yra vidujai prieštaringas. Straipsnyje pateikiami argumentai, kodėl ir kaip būtent moralinio tikrumo samprata galėtų žymiai adekvačiau įgyvendinti Dworkino siekį rasti labiau praktinį moralinio sprendinio ir moralinės tiesos supratimą. Ši moralinio tikrumo samprata, kaip alternatyva moraliniam objektyvumui, yra plėtojama remiantis vokiečių filosofo Roberto Spaemanno asmens ontologija.
