a system of ethics would be objective if they could be universally calculated by any none biased, perfectly logical being.
"Calculated" based on what? What is the question that this would be the answer to?
Also, how can you define "bias" here?
As you can guess from my questions, I don't even see what an objective system of ethics could possibly mean :-)

This seems to be my biggest problem as well. I have been trying to find definitions of an objective system of ethics, yet all of the definitions seem so dogmatic and contrived. Not to mention varying from time to time depending upon the domain of the ethics (whether they apply to Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, etc.)
And happy new year to everyone.
