Via Notsaussure, this bit of fun. I think I go along with Queenminx in that I don’t take these things too seriously…

You believe in moral propositions, but not moral facts or reduction of moral talk. You may be a relativist. Don’t be scared by the fact that “relativist” is usually an accusation, spoken with a sneer – just because it’s not in vogue doesn’t mean it’s wrong, which you know doubt know. “The term ‘moral relativism’ is understood in a variety of ways. Most often it is associated with an empirical thesis that there are deep and widespread moral disagreements and a metaethical thesis that the truth or justification of moral judgments is not absolute, but relative to some group of persons. Sometimes ‘moral relativism’ is connected with a normative position about how we ought to think about or act towards those with whom we morally disagree, most commonly that we should tolerate them.” |
