@Germlat,
I don't want to be a party pooper, but seriously: I accept moral relativity (even though I treat MY moral precepts as if they were absolutes) because I see them as a subset of the irresistably acceptable cultural relativity. There IS an absolute dimensison however in the sense that some moral norms are found universally, or virtually universally. But, of course, we should not equate universal with absolute, the former is incidental while the latter is metaphysical. In MY thinking, for what it may be worth to others, is the absolute value of
compassion. While norms (as cultural events) may vary from society to society, compassion is fundamental to the ethical
intentions underlying ethical behavior.
